The typical configuration of fetchmail just feeds the mail back into the local MTA for delivery. That should take care of your situation, and is exactly what I do myself. My .fetchmailrc looks like: ### Lowell'g configuration for fetchmail ## universal # (to make it look kosher coming into port 25) set invisible # get mail for lowell.gilbert@comcast.net poll mail.example.com proto pop3 username "lgilbert" password "example" ssl antispam 451 is lowell+ispmbox@be-well.ilk.org here > Also on the subject of spamassassin a lot of junk is still getting through, > is there a FreeBSD specific spam assassin configuration tutorial or howto? I don't think so. I can't imagine what would be FreeBSD-specific about any such configuration.
