Yes. Tell fetchmail to skip sendmail and deliver directly to procmail. In the default config, fetchmail delivers via SMTP to localhost:25. You can tell it to deliver to a specific mail delivery agent using the "mda" option in ~/.fetchmailrc: defaults protocol POP3 fetchall nokeep mda "procmail -d $LOGNAME" poll mail.isp.com username myusername password mypassword If you need to deliver to multiple users, or if there are local aliases that you want sendmail to handle, then you won't be able to use this method. It does work well for individual users who run fetchmail to get their mail. Tony - -- Anthony E.
