I run fetchmail as daemon in my user account. It gets started
whenever I dial into my ISP, but starting it from my .login (.profile)
should work as well. In my ~/.fetchmailrc, I have this:
mda "procmail .procmailrc"
That way, fetchmail uses procmail directly, which in turn will use the
filters set up in my .procmailrc. Works like a charm.
