I think you need to sort out this sendmail slowness (if that's what it

Have you thought about using a MDA, such as procmail or maildrop,
instead of using sendmail? I don't think the MDAs would delay your mail
unreasonably.
Ah: do you mean configure fetchmail to send its mail *directly* to
procmail, rather than going via sendmail? So my current configuration is:
POP3 -> fetchmail -> sendmail -> (.forward) -> procmail -> destination
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^****^
and I guess you're suggesting missing this bit out?
As the mail is only going to the one destination, yes, this should
work nicely.
I've been using procmail with fetchmail for years now and have never had
any trouble.
Thank you, I actually never thought of it.
