Like many of us, I get a *lot* of spam coming into my ISP-assigned email address. Since I originally installed this system (at release 4.2) I have used fetchmail piping through to sendmail to fetch from 3 POP accounts. I don't run DNS on my box and use my ISP's DNS servers for resolution.
Is there some reason you pipe thru sendmail? Bypass sendmail with something like this as the first line of your ~/.fetchmailrc file:
defaults proto pop3 fetchall mda "/usr/local/bin/procmail -d dkelly"
Everybody uses procmail, right? :-)
Make sure you have something like this at the start of your ~/.procmailrc file:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail #you'd better make sure it exists DEFAULT=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
