That is the problem, fetchmail just forwards it to port 25 (I think) and
I need to work out what to put between fetchmail and dovecot in order to
get the mail into the correct folders...
And I am just going around in circles on this at the moment. Any hint
would be appreciated!
You can use mda option provided in fetchmail as SMTP alternative.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recommend using procmail as mda in ~/.fetchmailrc e.g.:
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -tY -m /home/user/.procmail/account-1.rc"
and calling dovecot's deliver inside procmail scripts
DELIVER="/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver"
DELIVERFLAGS="-e"
:0 w
|$DELIVER $DELIVERFLAGS
Using procmail provides nice hook for extra processing e.g.
* spam filtering/tagging
* virus detection
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can make fetchmail use dovecot's deliver direclty in mda option
I advise against the use of procmail for fresh installs. Use maildrop
instead. It is maintained, has cleaner code, cleaner interfaces, much
better error handling and an easier-to-read syntax. =>
