yup ;-) it was already created. but neither sendmail nor procmail
was up and running... thus it did'nt work.
With sendmail, it works fine.
procmail is perhaps less 'heavy' tu use on a personnal computer ?

BTW : it seems procmail AND sendmail are installed by defaults;
how to switch from one to the other ?
(config for procmail is /etc/procmail/... but where is the config for
sendmail ?)
