Hi Ken,

You problem is that Mixmaster doesn't pick up mail in the manner you're
expecting.  You need to pipe messages to it, either using a .forward
file or better, Procmail.  Below is the Procmail recipe I use:-
$ cat ~/.procmailrc

SHELL=/bin/bash
PMDIR=$HOME/procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog
VERBOSE=no
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir

:0
| /home/mix/Mix/mixmaster -RM

You'll need to adjust the path to mixmaster to match your installation.
For initial testing, you probably want to create the ~/procmail
directory so that Procmail can log events, such as errors and incoming
message processing.  After that, turn it off my remarking the LOGFILE
statement.
