No, I'm using fetchmail.  But is there a way to pipe fetchmails output 
thru a prefilter such as procmail?  Yeah, I know, man procmail to the

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
