this is, because fetchmail downloads only one message
at a time and wait for the returnstatus of the MDA.
I have the same problem, since filtering eats up to 6
seconds per message...
What I have done?
I let download fetchmail all messages into ONE maildir-box and the I
run a background script which look for messages older then 2 minutes
and spam up to 10 filtersessions...
fnc()
{
procmail -d <$MSG
}
and in a loop I do something like
for X in $MSGDIR/* ; do
while [ <condition which checks for maximum 10 sessions of fnc> ] ; do
sleep 1
done
if [ <some condition which check for the age of the message> ] ; then
fnc $X
fi
done
I start tis script all 3 minutes to check, whether
messages are in the $MSGDIR and then run it.
This speed up the downloading rapidly...
fetchmail + procmail can handel only 500-2000 messages per hour
fetchmail alone with a simpel procmailrc file like
----8<-------------------------
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir_download
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/
----8<-------------------------
make more then 8000 messages per hour on a 1 MBit ADSL
