there is no need for the complex and powerful capability of Postfix to be between a fetchmail for local deliver and a procmail that does filtering of local delivery.
I agree.... I never moved away from sendmail, myself... ;-) What? I find sendmail even more complex than postfix.-- Sigh... even a dry smile isn't caught these days... oh well... I mean, um, what are you talking about complex, it's as clear as M4 macro language! Er.... um....
Ah, ok! M4! Yes, clear as mud, yes, LOL!
But if you are using fetchmail/procmail for incoming email there is no need for either.
Depends on your need. If you use both maildir and mbox, using a standard delivery system might be a good idea. I'm thinking an MTA was configured on his old system (suse used to be good about those things), but now I bet it's broken due to recent system startup changes... If that's the case, maybe finding what was there before, and putting it back might be the shortest route to solving the problem...
Nay, the MTA is not broken on systemd systems. It works out of the box, as always. Maybe, just maybe, you have to just run YaST mail module just once, in simple mode, accepting defaults (and not configuring fetchmail in there). But this has been the same for decades. Instead of beating around the bush, lets have a good look at logs, ok? :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
