1. Install folder to the mods directory (remove the old one)
2. move the recmail.php.move.to.site.root to your root of the elgg install and rename it to recmail.php
3. Configure your domain to have a catch all user/email address basically a *@domain.com.
4. install/copy the procmailrc-dist to the users home directory as .procmailrc
