If you use procmail and fetchmail as daemon
__( '/etc/fetchmail' )________________________________________________
/
| # Global
| set no bouncemail
| set postmaster xxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxx@xxxxxxx.xx
| set invisible
|
| # Defaults
| defaults:
| antispam -1
| batchlimit 10
| warnings 300
| fetchall
| expunge 1
| mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
| dropstatus
|
| poll ....
| user ...
\______________________________________________________________________
In your ~/.fetchmailrc you need only
mda "/usr/bin/procmail"
