MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hello, I am running fetchmail without problems for years now. Recently I installed procmail at the server where fetchmail is running and after this installation the server was rebooted yesterday for the first time. Now I saw that all my mails which were fetched since this reboot yesterday have not arrived my inbox, usually it retrieves the mail via POP3 from a mailbox and delivers it locally to my MTA which stores it for further provessing by me. Now after fetchmail was restarted it found that procmail is avaiable, tried to call it which fails since it was not configured, flushed (deleted the mail at the mailbox where it fetches from) and then ..., what happens next?. Where is my mail now? fetchmail didn't try to deliver to my MTA as procmail returns with error. Which 'special' configuration flag do I need to use to force fecthmail to ignore procmail if present? Why is the mail flushed even if delivery failed? Where is the mail stored when delivery fails?
