Hi!    Using postfix, procmail & fetchmail on Mandrake 8.0 I got fetchmail
to poll other addresses and to ostensibly forward mail to another account.
Fetchmail polls successfully but the following code in .procmailrc doesn't
seem to do the trick:

:0 H
*^From.*Janet@uvic\.ca
! somemailaddress.com

So fetchmail polls Janet at the uvic.ca account and successfully finds mail
(when it is, in fact there).  Then procmail ought to send the mail snagged
to Janet.   IF I ASK procmail to forward internal mail to an internal
account it is happy to do so and everything is perfect.   If I ask procmail
to forward mail polled from elsewhere, it seems to send it off into
cyberspace somewhere because the mail disappears off the server, is
announced to me, and then is gone forever.   External forwards do not work
for me.

I have a feeling that the problem is a lack of consistency of settings
between postfix, procmail and fetchmail.  For example in the documentation I
noted something in postfix about the prepend_delivered_header with a setting
of command, file, forward.   However I didn't fully understand the
explanation of this and whether it would bear on my problem.

Any suggestions?

Thankx!
