Any anti-SPAM s/w that can work with fetchmail? Seems like everything I find seems to require I set up an MTA and point incoming mail to it (vs using fetchmail to get my stuff where it currently goes), or, buy a service, or, like that . . . Thanks.

You can always set up a local-only MTA listening at 127.0.0.1, and have fetchmail deliver email to 127.0.0.1:25. Rgds,
Please excuse the top post - Are you suggesting I have fetchmail get mail as usual, but deliver to a local MTA, for further processing, and have that MTA interact with my end point MTA? Hmm . . . tasty. Or, sigh, just getting dim. joe a. >>> Pandu Poluan <pandu <at> poluan.info> 03/22/12 10:25 AM >>> On Mar 21, 2012 5:26 PM, "joea <at> j4computers.com" <joea <at> j4computers.com> wrote: > > Any anti-SPAM s/w that can work with fetchmail?

Yes. Alternatively, *if* your email volume is low, you can have fetchmail deliver the emails directly to a SpamAssassin front-end (e.g., amavisd-new) which will then deliver the (filtered) email to your MTA. The keyword, of course, is volume. You need to test how long amavisd-new processes an email. You don't want to cause a bottleneck.

You really need an MTA, to which you can plug in the likes of ClamAV. -- -- Please keep list traffic on the list.

It's a non standard "MTA" (Novell GroupWise GWIA). It does have a means of "shunting" mail to a "third party" directory for processing, but, those apps are proprietary (specific to GWIA;s) and big $$$. For my purposes a VM server, linux flavor, seems "better". I guess, if I wanted to mess with non standard ports, I could just run it on the one box. At least a loose plan is emerging. joe a. >>> Rob MacGregor <rob.macgregor <at> gmail.com> 03/22/12 2:55 PM >>> On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 17:50, joea <at> j4computers.com <joea <at> j4computers.com> wrote: > Please excuse the top post - > > Are you suggesting I have fetchmail get mail as usual, but deliver to a local MTA, for further processing, and have that MTA interact with my end point MTA?

The software I usually use to poll my yahoo account has gotten a bug in it that hasn't been fixed yet so I've fallen back to fetchmail to poll my pop account. I noticed awhile ago that after so many messages that the fetchmail log is showing an inactivity timeout: fetchmail: about to deliver with: procmail fetchmail: flushed fetchmail: POP3> DELE 15 fetchmail: POP3< -ERR inactivity timeout fetchmail: inactivity timeout fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: 6.3.18 querying pop.mail.yahoo.com (protocol POP3) at Sat 24 Mar 2012 08:46:24 AM CDT: poll completed fetchmail: discarding new UID list fetchmail: Query status=24 fetchmail: Writing fetchids file. My cl is this: fetchmail -v -v -v --nokeep --nosyslog --logfile /home/chris/fetchmaillog --uidl -m procmail I have a 10Mbps dsl connection and according to a speed test I'm getting 8.3Mbps.
