I think(!) you can use fetchmail+dovecot without either knowing about the other. fetchmail does deliveries to your maildir, dovecot will pick up the changes, although delayed.
That's what I'm doing. Fetchmail uses procmail to run through spamassassin and procmail plonks it into the mailbox.
Ah, I missed that.
I just wondered of procmail should - or could - use dovecot's lda.
It would no doubt improve your overall setup, and you'd be able to use e.g. quotas and sieve. I'm guessing fetchmail call any arbitrary executable and then provide the mail on stdin? If that works, I think you can just call "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver".
... And that's what worries me. With procmail I can plonk the mail down into the folder I want. Where is dovecot going to 'deliver' to? I ask this because I have a non-standard arrangement. Having accidentally wiped out /var/spool/mail in past upgrades I now have my inbox under ~/Mail and my folder tree in subdirectories thereof. It all gets backed up nicely. My backup strategy isn't very aggressive about things that are 'system', things that I can get back from the installation DVD or repositories. It is aggressive about /home. -- What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite. --Bertrand Russell, _Skeptical Essays_ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
