If you have a mail server running on port 25 fetchmail will by default pass the mail to the mail server.
If there is nothing listening on port 25, fetchmail will pass the mail to procmail if the file ~/.procmailrc exists in the users home directory. So as long as your .procmailrc file is there it should *just work* However what can catch you out is the permissions on that file. You need to have 600 permissions or else it will not work HTH derek On Thursday 20 Mar 2003 6:07 pm, David Marsh wrote: > Hi, > > I've decided to give Mandrake a go, having used Debian for a couple of > years and eventually come to the conclusion that, while an excellent > distro, it's too 'techie' for me in a home user environment. > > (I have to say that, so far, I've been very impressed with the ease of > install of Mandrake) > > > I'm just trying to get myself back up and running again with Mandrake. > > I previously used fetchmail to fetch my mail from my various mail > accounts, and then fed it through procmail in order to filter it into my > mailboxes. > > Under Debian this magically 'just worked', but I'm not sure how to do it > under Mandrake? > > Could somebody tell me what I need to configure in order to have > fetchmail feed mail that it fetches into procmail? > > > Thanks for any advice, > > > David.
