Max, Have you discovered an answer to your problem?
Here's something that I've set up which sounds kind of like what you are trying to do. I'm running the UW imap server with the default setup. Separately, I'm running fetchmail to get my mail from a couple ISP POP accounts, and use the "tmail" program from the imap utilities to inject the mail into my imap server. Here's an edited version of my ~/.fetchmailrc: set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log set invisible set no bouncemail poll my.isp.net protocol POP3 username abackus password sesame fetchall nokeep mda "/usr/local/bin/tmail %T" poll my.otherisp.com protocol POP3 username a_backus password pass fetchall nokeep mda "/usr/local/bin/tmail %T" I suppose if you want separate folders for each ISP, you could do something like this in the "mda" line: mda "/usr/local/bin/tmail %T+The_ISP_Name" In this case, the mail will be injected into your user account in the folder "The_ISP_Name" I'm not yet familiar with spamassasin, but recently I started using procmail to do filtering and sorting on my mail. I just slipped this "layer" between fetchmail and imap's tmail, so that my fetchmailrc calls procmail instead of tmail, then in my procmail filters, it invokes the appropriate tmail command line to inject into the appropriate imap mailbox. Hope this makes sense :) -Abe ----- Original Message ----- > Hi, is it possible to trigger an action, on my mail machine, when > a user "checks mail".
