Thank you, Charles, Roman and Mark.

I've tried procmail and maildrop to go with getmail but all failed. I
believe they should be able to work someday when I have enough hard work
on them. :)

Report:
1. procmail returns (-1) while I have the following in
   .getmail/getmailrc:

   postmaster = "|/usr/bin/procmail -Y -t"

   (My .procmailrc works for postfix, set in main.cf with
   "|/usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN -t".)

2. maildrop returns (-1) while I set for getmail:

   postmaster = "|/usr/bin/maildrop ~/.maildroprc"

   (The .maildroprc contains stuff like Roman's.)

3. getmail doesn't have enough documentation at this moment:
  a. no man page
  b. the rpm package comes with Mandrake 8.1 is broken. It misses a (at
     least) python module. I replace it with a D/L one.
  c. It has not a single word about how to use command for 'postmaster'.
     Only the line of example:

     postmaster = |/path/to/command

     (You are not even alerted to QUOTE the whole command if you have
     arguments.)

thanks,
charlie
