Thanks for answering Jason !

Charles Cazabon, the author of getmail, seems to think that using qmail
inject to reinject messages is a really bad idea, and that if you do you're
liable to have all sorts of terrible problems. Do you agree with this
assessment ?

Do you think I should use qmail-inject or the Qmail "sendmail" program ?

all I'm looking for is the postmaster= line for getmail that will get the
messages that got retrieved from my pop3 accounts back into the system, and
going through scanning before delivery.

also : what command do I use to pipe the message through qmail-inject
properly ?

I appreciate your help,

all best,
