fetchmail works just fine with postfix. postfix/courier-imap &
spamassassin do not even know or care that fetchmail exists, since
fetchmail passes the email to port 25 (which is of course the
standard smtp port) and postfix does not know what is on the other
side of the port.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
