Charles I already tested and liked your getmail but unfortunately I have to
forward incoming mail toward another host-operation not possible with your
good and light program (unless you install procbox as I red on FAQ).
I'm not loosing nothing other than undesired mail ;)
Watching the session with fetchmail -v I note qmail answers:
sorry envelope sender is into my BADMAILFROM list ...or something like this
for any undesired FROM field I have into ../badmailfrom.
I see that's not a smart solution since fetchmail and qmail are working
uselessly for what I wanna destroy or bounce away but at least I'm freed of
reading such undesired stuff.
I'm not a SysAdmin but a complete newbie so hope you'll support my comments.
Regards,Marco.
