You sound exactly like me. The configuration is identical on the Linux system.
Two questions:
1) have you tried courier-pop? It provides a POP3 interface to the maildirs -
though I presume you're restricted to using the top level folder.
2) fetchmail connecting to RBL? Really? That's OT for here, but I'd be
interested in knowing how you do that, off-list. I have fetchmail proxying
through popfile, which does a good job of trapping spam, but it doesn't reject
it before download.
