You would lose mail. Additionally, you override the default delivery mechanism (local sendmail) and hence lose the target user "marc" setting. Since you run fetchmail as root, formail and procmail process the messages for root. As I've recommended earlier, run fetchmail manually to debug your config file. Unless it works, don't even consider running it in daemon mode. You probably need to add procmail option "-d marc" if you insist on using procmail as the MDA. As a side-note: if at all, I would move the formail "digest-split" into marc's ~/.procmailrc rule file. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/XTY90iMVcrivHFQRAuqyAJsEZfn0qRgoeaoIhVgxUAdXsDRm5ACfY2b9 aXx06byD75MXmYqPyCy9FmQ= =brXf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
