I'm using fetchmail to call procmail directly. It works. But I am
aware of several outstanding bugs in the way fetchmail handles UIDs.
If you're leaving messages on the server and your network goes down
while fetchmail is polling the server, expect nasty things to happen,
like the list of UIDs being lost and masses of old duplicate messages
being delivered. Maybe I'll get round to rewriting the UID code one
day ... or maybe I'll be persuaded to use an alternative to fetchmail.
