If it's a tar.gz file then do "tar zxvf file_name.tar.gz" or if it's just a tar file then do "tar xvf file_name" this will uncompress the files into a directory usually called file_name so then just cd file_name and look for a file called README, INSTALL or configure or something similar.

Thank you!
it did not work though.

I'm trying to install the "procmail". The e-smith rpm wont install, and I'm trying the tar version from the procmail website, but still have not been able to install it.

Any recomendations?

forgive me, but if you don't know how to install a tar file than "won't install" or "didn't work" probably isn't enough explanation of your problem (to get any help).  how did you try to use the "e-smith rpm"?

procmail is already installed

the usermanager bundle is optional,
it contains an rpm that enables procmail and make it easy to configure
