No I'm not, Joanne! Fetchmail is run from rc.local and delivers the
mail from vz and gmail to /var/spool/mail/gene on a 10 minute repeating
loop.
Kmail, then, completely asynchronously but on the same basic 10
minute repeat timing, grabs the contents of that file and sorts it into
its various folders after pipeing _some_ of the mail through SA.

Now, it looks as if I should make /etc/procmail/procmailrc be owned by
gene:gene, and that I should set kmail to pipe the mail, using
procmail -pm /etc/procmail/procmailrc
from the man pages, but I'm not sure what other arguments might be
needed. I've copied your recipe into /etc/procmail/procmailrc
and /etc/procmail/* is owned by gene:gene.
Erm, I think you should use per-user procmail recipes rather than tinker
with the globals. I believe your ~/.procmailrc can sort this out.
So I think the next step is to add the filtering rule to kmail and fire
a message off to the fedora list for effect, which will generate
testing mails aplenty.
Gene, I'm a little confused about your setup, why not just get fetchmail
to deliver all mail to procmail as the local MDA (man fetchmail will
help you out), then let procmail sort into folders and spam check as
necessary, and then use KMail as what it essentially is - a mail reader.
Have I missed something obvious?
Enh - deliver direct to the mailbox via procmail as the default mda.
