all the users allowed to do port 110 POP3 have /bin/false shells on my

hi
if you can telnet into the machine...
at port 110, you can probably login on the telnet/ssh port ???

after the whole mail has been downloaded by fetchmail, am I right?

you should use ~/.procmailrc to filter your mail as follows:
