You're welcome.

|
| "facteur": (postman in french)
Is the above the script name? If not then I don't understand it.
| fetchmail --mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
Specifying --mda like this causes mail to go straight to procmail and
exim never sees it. (it's not wrong, just understand what it means
:-))
| and for user2 the script :
|
| "getmes":
| fetchmail
Like this fetchmail defaults to using an SMTP connection to localhost.
That means fetchmail must pass all of the junk/invalid mail checks the
MTA enforces for an SMTP session.

Good.

Not inherently.
The strictness of the input checking is controlled wholly by the
config file. Look through the exim.conf for your exim4 installation
(particularly the 'acl' section) to see what it is looking for.

Pegasus is the code name of Windows CE. This is so pathetic it's
staggering.
