OK Thanks to all. A final mail from me before I check out. The mistake I was making was that I didn't realise that fetchmail needed an "mda" command for each entry (I assumed that simply having mda "formail -s procmail" in my .fetchmailrc file somewhere would be enough). Having worked that out, fetchmail delivers to procmail which delivers to dovecot. Happy! I still have the problem that it has to be run as root but, as I no longer even have postfix on my machine, this is clearly not a postfix issue and therefore OT here. So long and thanks for all the fish! Mark
