   Good lord man, why in the world would you need a .pkg for SmartList? It's
a mind-numbingly simple install...read the information at www.procmail.org
(more up-to-date than the sunsite.dk site suggested by Dan. (One important
side note - do NOT update your "main" version of /usr/bin/procmail...there
are code changes in the Cobalt version that _will_ bite you in the rear if
you do. Make a backup copy of that file before you do anything else. Ask Thom
about the night he had to send me a copy of the procmail binary so I could
get my mail working again...I still maintain it's illegal for Cobalt/Sun to
make major code changes to GPL-licensed software without INCLUDING the source
on the drive, not just making it available via FTP in some filing cabinet
hidden in the basement marked, "Beware of the Leopard." But anyway...)

   (*sigh*) Anyone who needs a .pkg file to install SmartList better forget I
even mentioned it, and right quick. That hypothetical poor confused soul
likely wouldn't be able to figure out how to add/edit the rc.local.* files
without a web-based GUI hook, either.

                    type the word "make" or unpack a tarball)
