or the other way around, fetchmail doesn't need exim and can deliver directly to procmail (this is what i do). i prefer this because then i don't need to run an mta on my laptop. my ~/.fetchmailrc looks like this: heyzeus(larry)$ cat ~/.fetchmailrc set daemon 60 poll localhost port 1100 protocol pop3 uidl username larry password MyPass mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d larry" preconnect "ssh -C -f -L 1100:mailhost:110 sshhost 'sleep 9'" this also tunnels through ssh which is nice cause you don't send your password in plain text, but it works better if you have passwordless ssh setup. adam.
