You should be able to use fetchmail with procmail. Fetchmail has the -m option to specify a delivery agent to use instead of forwarding the messages to an SMTP host. For example: fetchmail -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" I would guess it is possible to have fetchmail invoke slocal directly: fetchmail -m "/usr/lib/nmh/slocal -addr %T -sender %F" But I would try things out first. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
