I can't answer your questions but I might be able to solve your problem! You can configure fetchmail to distribute local mail using procmail instead of sendmail (I believe sendmail uses procmail in the long run anyway). Here is an example from my fetchmail configuration: set logfile "/var/log/fetchmail" set postmaster "root" set properties "" set daemon 300 poll smtp.your.isp.com proto pop3 user "your_pop3_userid" pass "your_pop3_password" is your_local_userid fetchall mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" If this works for you then I think (based on your description of what you are doing) you can simply stop running sendmail as a daemon. -- Robert C.
