- There's your problem. You need to have rules for EVERY message!
- So you should add a line that looks like this:
-
- >>> always save /home3/t/timewarp/mailbox
-
- This should be the last rule of your 'filter-rules' file so that
- messages that don't match other rules do get save somewhere.

- You might want to add a -o option to save errors in a file.
- my '.forward' file look like this:
-
- >>> "| /usr/local/bin/filter -o $HOME/.elm/filtererr"
