There is no set up yet =)

Currently all users get their mail from external mail boxes over the  
internet using what ever clients they want, which is usually what ever  
version of outlook is on their computer. Beyond that, nothing is in  
place!

How the results I want are to be achieved is completely open. The  
solution I had in mind was to have their clients pass all the mail to  
a local server and sort it with procmail.

But there are a number of variables such as how is the local mail  
server accessed (pop/imap/shell/none), how the mail gets sent to the  
local server (smtp/imap) and how I get procmail to sort it all (as it  
arrives/cron job on mail boxes/etc). There are probably ways to do it  
I haven't even thought of.. Just looking for some ideas/suggestions on  
how other people would do it before I begin. =)

Cheers,
Jerahmy.
