I'm not even sure you need such a section. You can use
getmail through the MTA. e.g. here is my getmailrc:
[options]
verbose=1
readall=1
delete=1
message_log=~/.getmail/getmail.log
[retriever]
type=SimplePOP3Retriever
server=xxxx.xxx
username=xxxxx
password=xxxxxxxx
[destination]
type=MDA_external
path=/usr/sbin/exim4
arguments=("-bm","unixaccountname",)
I would think that this would then use exim's spam and
virus checking (I actually don't have that going
through exim.)
Perhaps I'm missing the point ... can spam and viruses
be rejected at SMTP time with fetchmail?
While I'm aware of no specific problem, I suppose that
this setup could lead to the reinjection ugliness
Benedict refers to.
