Hi, I am wondering how should I setup a server. I have installed spamassassin, and am using fetchmail to get mail from another host. Now, I wouldn't want to install procmail. I do not understand how the mail travels: I make a ssh connection to start imapd on the target mail-host with fetchmail, to get the mail, but to whom program does fetchmail give it to? sendmail? Or does it put it directly in the mailspool? Some other program? I have spamd running, so does it know that sendmail/spool/other is getting these mails, and would know to scan them? I am running 5.1 "out-of-the-box" with programs installed from a recent ports-tree. Thank you in advance.
