 I have fetchmail feeding straight to procmail like:

 mda "formail -s /usr/bin/procmail"

 procmail then sorts and delivers it to to my homedir.

 No wonder - you seem to be taking the hard road on this,
 I remember your mails about this ages a go.

 Hrmm. I use the following in my exim.conf:

qualify_domain = lonesom.pp.fi
local_domains = lonesom.pp.fi:lonesom.pp.fi

local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true


 that get's the host part right for me.
