Andrew, I noticed 3 people suggesting fetchmail feeding into 3 different MTAs all passing to procmail. I just wanted to suggest skipping the MTA. Fetchmail can hand off directly to procmail, which (to my knowledge) does not need to be integrated into an MTA at all. This may or may not save you a bit of a headache. -- Chris Thielen Easily generate SpamAssassin rules to catch obfuscated spam phrases: http://www.sandgnat.com/cmos/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
