hash should work fine.

I don't know about Leopard but on Tiger to get it actually
running as a daemon I had to override
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
with
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
$ cat /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>org.postfix.master</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/libexec/postfix/master</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>master</string>
</array>
<key>QueueDirectories</key>
<array>
<string>/var/spool/postfix/maildrop</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
and then:
$ sudo launchctl stop org.postfix.master
$ sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
$ sudo launchctl start org.postfix.master
And, as your relay server seems to do only smtp after pop, my
workaround for these kind of servers is to create a postconnect
rule in .fetchmailrc; roughly something like:
poll <account> ... postconnect '/usr/sbin/sendmail -q'
... all this just in case it doesn't work all by itself on
Leopard ;-)
