Thanks.

The fetchmail man page says "As each message is retrieved
fetchmail normally delivers it via SMTP to port 25 on the machine
it is running on (localhost)"

Then, down further, it says "You can force mail to be passed to
an MDA directly (rather than forwarded to port 25) with the -mda
or -m option. To avoid losing mail, use this option only with
MDAs like procmail...".

However, searching the procmail man page for IMAP turns up nothing.
Can you point the way to a Fscking Manual?

Many thanks.

(This sounds like it would be a good meeting topic...)
