Hello folks

Lately, I kept getting errors fetching mail from my pop3 / imap servers -
connect to localhost port 25 failed, transaction error 10.

Basically it couldn't open a connection to my local sendmail.  This has
popped up on the list more than once -- so here's the fix (thanks to the
fetchmail faq at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail)

I've used procmail as the mda now

defaults
forcecr
poll mailandnews.com  with proto pop3 no dns 
user r.suresh with password "***" is user r.suresh here and wants mda "sed -e 
'1s/^\t/Received: /'| formail | /usr/bin/procmail -d r.suresh"
fetchall

Hassle - when I bounce messages to another mail id, sometimes the full
headers are included in the message itself, with a fresh set of headers.

[bounced msg headers]

[full headers of original mesg]

[text]

Any fix in the formail / sed syntax (which I don't know too well)?
