WTF!
yeah, wt...
I run my own mail server, but also use gmail, rr, ...
from my ~/.fetchmailrc for rr poll pop-server.indy.rr.com tracepolls with proto POP3 timeout 60 user 'pshanahan' there with password 'xxxxxxxxxxxx' is 'paka' here options fetchall stripcr mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
of course, /usr/lib/sendmail is actually postfix which hands off to procmail which invokes spamd after delivering msgs which do not need spam filtering.
That seems long winded to me I run fetchmail Example from ~/.fetchmailrc poll mail.antonaylward.com with proto POP3 user 'xxxx@antonaylward.com' there with password 'XXXXX' is 'anton' here options fetchall smtphost HOME mda '/usr/bin/procmail -d %T' Note that last line. There is no need to run though Postfix to get to procmail And as you say, procmail can deliver messages that don't need spam filtering. INCLUDERC=$LIB/whitelist.rc INCLUDERC=$LIB/blacklist.rc INCLUDERC=$LIB/mailinglists.rc # Another kind of whitelist INCLUDERC=$LIB/attachment.rc INCLUDERC=$LIB/likelyspam.rc INCLUDERC=$LIB/fonts.rc Fonts? Well if its in russian or chinese then I treat it as spam Likely Spam? Call it 'known spam' Sometimes certain patterns crop up, usually in subject lines, so predictably procmail can handle them faster and easier than spamassassin. The whitelist, blacklist and mailing list is a straight forward fgrep. Again, faster than spamassassin.
ps. have you tried running a mail server from a non-standard port? Maybe not checked by your isp....
Yes. Now I only have to get the rest world to stop using port 25 for SMTP. -- All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. --Thomas Paine -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
