Ok, sub getmail for both fetchmail and procmail, since getmail can
handle the SA pipeing you are doing with procmail. Then run dovecot on
that box to serve kmail on this box? I have the kmail fetching turned
off on that box, so I'd assume I can give getmail a trial run and see
if what it fetches it shows up in kmail on that firewall box as a new
mail, if that works, then setup dovecot as a pop3 server to serve the
kmail requests from this box. Have I got it right? All running as the
user gene I'd assume?

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. :-)
