Be sure to remove the mda stuff from the poll statement in .fetchmailrc first. If that works the put the mda back as mda "/user/local/sbin/sendmail" and this time use fetchmail -v -k And no set daemon statement in .fetchmailrc.

You can use procmail to filter incoming messages to different mailboxes, that's at least what I use it for. Maybe I am wrong. But what irritates me is the following line: user thomas@mydomain.com there is thomas here mda Maybe the config syntax of fetchmail has changed but I have only 3 lines in my .fetchmailrc and sendmail configured correctly. That's all it needs to work: poll pop.gmx.net protocol pop3 user "4037158" password "XXXXXX" poll pop.gmx.net protocol pop3 user "1580704" password "XXXXXX" set daemon 900 I do not have a fully qualified domain name or anything. See earlier post with configuration for sendmail to masquerade as mail server. That's exactly how it has to be used to have mail downloaded and processed on a normal workstation. Maybe I am completely ignorant and don't know what I am talking about, but my setup works. And that's all we're interested in, having a working setup, isn't it :) ?
