Fetchmail sends mail to port 25, and postfix sends it (pipes) for local delivery to procmail. The postfix configuration is as set up by YAST2 on a clean 8.1 install (commented by me on another mail, thread "a way to get more verbose logging from the postfix procmail maildrop ?", dated: Wed, 28 May 2003). With exactly the same recipe files (procmailrc) I had under suse 7.3 and sendmail, procmail stopped working right away under 8.2 and postfix. The problem was that it could not read "/etc/procmailrc" as user nobody.
I just tried: 1) Starting fetchmail as root. 2) having fetchmail hand off to procmail 3) procmail did its delivery to /var/spool/mail/<wherever> Now to try postfix in the middle. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
