Would You explain to me the meaning of the question "Is USER=fetchmail correct?"? User fetchmail has ben created automatically when I have installed fetchmail. So the user fetchmail should be correct in any way. > I dont run fetchmail as a daemon. > > but 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow fetchmail' doesn't offer to allow you to > change it. :-( (not that I want to) > > I suggest reinstall fetchmail and don't have it as a daemon Thank you for this suggestion, but don't you think that that if fetchmail run as daemon, it is not possible to configure the system fetchmail -> exim4 -> procmail -> ~/Mail/mailboxes? Up to now exim4 forward the mails in to /var/mail/fetchmail mailbox. I use Mutt to read these mails, and then save them to appropriate ~Mail/mailbox. My question is: how to configure exim4 to forward mails to procmail? I will appreciate any suggestion!
