>I saw a post earlier today about using fetchmail to grab external emails
and run them through your local SA filters. Can anyone explains or point
me in the right direction to find out how to do that?
I would like to use fetchmail to get mail from an external server and have
it run through my servers filters and deliver it to my mailbox here on
this server. How would I go about doing that?
fetchmail typically injects mail into your local mail system, so if you
invoke SA somewhere in the delivery pipeline, it should be applied to the
fetchmail-delivered mail as well. You can also skip the mail system and push
the mail directly into a specified MDA, like procmail.
I use:
poll pop.earthlink.net with proto POP3
user 'jdow' there with password 'I'm not that stupid-usually'
is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' here options pass8bits
smtpaddress ' '
This delivers mail even with no local mailer present. Fetchmail can
deliver directly to inboxes.
