Yes. BTW, if your user 'mail' has 'mail' as it default group, AND since Debian uses a sgid mail spool by default, it should be able to deliver mail to anyone even if you are forcing fetchmail to call, say, procmail to do it. AND I should add that when talking SMTP to a MTA (i.e. you told fetchmail to deliver to a SMTP server), fetchmail can deliver email to anyone, regardless of the user it is being run as. Or at least it damn well should be able to do it... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
