Yes it can. Have a look at: http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/faq.html#faq-integrating-procmail It basically boils down to the following settings in your getmailrc: --- snip --- [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/bin/procmail unixfrom = True --- snip --- I have used this setup for some time now and am quite happy with it.
