you mean, straight to my .fetchmailrc file?  i do that, and it gives
me a parse error.

line 1 of ~/.fetchmailrc is :

mda = "/usr/bin/procmail  -d %T"


also fwiw, when i try:
orange:~# /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart
i get:
Restarting mail retrieval agent: system-wide fetchmail not configured.

which leads me to believe that peraps fetchmail *isn't* ship-shape,
after all.

tia again,
