You shouldn't need any reference to SMTP in your procmailrc. All you have to do is simple. Have a procmailrc and a fetchmailrc in your local user directory. Use fetchmail via the same user that reads the e-mail. Here is the start of my '~/home/.procmailrc' file, remember NO .forward file is needed, you should test it without any rules other than the one shown; MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/ LOGFILE=$HOME/Mail/procmaillog FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail :0: IN.inbox Fetchmail should automatically hand e-mail off to Exim4. I didn't set up anything for that to work. If one has a .prcomailrc in their ~/home then, Exim4 should automatically hand it off to procmail. I'm assuming you're wanting a single drop ? This wouldn't work for a multi-user setup. -- Steve A. ----------------------------------------------- Tuesday Jul 19 2005 09:25:02 EDT ----------------------------------------------- I never met a man I didn't want to fight. -- Lyle Alzado, professional football lineman
