Looks GTG, except... the version number is bad :} The 64 bit package already *is* 3.22-13, so your package should at least be 3.22-14 to override the older version automatically without deleting it. > I tested fetchmail, the way you indicate.

This should be either root -> smmsp | +-> corinna with smmsp and corinna process ineracting via pipes or sockets, or root -> smmsp via seteuid -> back to root -> corinna via setuid Anyway, thanks for confirming that it works. > By the way: this combination of fetchmail and procmail is nice.

No, my procmail distributes the mail it gets from postfix into a few hundred MBOX files under ~/Mail.
