I've just moved from sendmail to postfix. My fetchmail configuration
used to work fine, pulling emails via my ISP's pop3 server and
delivering them to my user account.
Since the change to postfix however they are all delivered into
/var/spool/mail/postfix
Here are the contents of my .fetchmailrc file:
poll mail.myisp.net protocol pop3 username "mylogin" password "mypass"
(specific information changed obviously)
Any ideas why this would change between sendmail and postfix? I
copied the aliases file across and did all the other configuration
needed, SMTP mail is delivered correctly.
Does sending an email on the system to your account work as expected?
Yes, but fetchmail doesn't handle that it's handled through postfix (the
headers confirm this)
It's only mail to my ISP account that is pulled via fetchmail.
What version of postfix and fetchmail, what's the headers of one of
these emails? What's the output of "fetchmail -v -v"?
Ok you asked for it :) This was send to me

The line "not swapping UID lists, no UIDs seen this query" seems
