Hello!
I have a similar problem with newest smail+procmail+fetchmail.
I have this in my /etc/smail/transports:
local: return_path, local, from, driver=pipe; user=root,
cmd="/usr/bin/procmail -d $($user$)"
and fetchmail does need *hours* to download a few hundred mails (actually,
smail needs most of the time. It tries to verificate the mail headers, which
takes about three seconds per mail. This is nasty! as it processes the mail
consecutive)
Any Help is appreciatet, thank you,
Marcus
