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'll try this by tommorrow. I used to run fetchmail, started by root and I believe it then used postfix and then postfix called procmail and used my /etc/procmailrc. But I later bypassed postfix (why not?) and had fetchmail hand off directly to procmail and still used the /etc/procmailrc. Is this not a possibility? I still started fetchmail from root. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
