Hi all,
I'm using fetchmail and i'm not sure that this configuration is correct:
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
In order to don't send spambounce to sender but to postmaster.
Thanks in advance

Getmail was designed to deliver directly to Maildir:

Mutt + fetchmail works fine, but I've a problem with procmail.
My configuration is the following one:

set postmaster samiel
set bouncemail
poll alice via in.alice.it timeout 60
with proto POP3
auth password user [EMAIL
to by
postfix. How can I configure getmail to deliver mail through
postfix or dovecot? I don't know what fetchmail does, but I
don't think it delivers directly to ~/.Maildir. Also, I haven't
ever had problems with fetchmail configured this way. Debian

Enable verbose mode in fetchmail to see what it does when handing the

You should not need that.

the subject line is the question. creating a personal crontab was
easy, but fetchmail running under cron sends a whole bunch of mail to
root which, since i'm sysadmin on my own machine, clutters up my
email.

It just doesn't hurt. Maybe one could even argue that letting fetchmail
run in daemon mode takes less resources over time than

10-30 minutes. Much better use of resources on the machine.

What advantages are there to getmail? I've run fetchmail
successfully in daemon mode, with the only problem being that it doesn't
always download all the messages in one shot. I'm not a big advocate
of it, however, it just works ok for me. I may play around with getmail
