Fair enough.

Should be, unless there's something REALLY nasty in procmail. Frankly, I
trigger a lot of xAP stuff from Apache just by cgi-binning out and running
"xAPsend" as a binary :-)

www.xapautomation.org

you may find that http:\\patrick.lidstone.net (one of the more active xAP
developers) is useful - he's far more linuxy than most of the others.
