I like sorting my e-mails by the date of their reception on the server :
this date is obtained by taking the last "Received" header in the

I use procmail as MDA, so that my local MTA does not add a Received
header. The problem is the one added by fetchmail. Is there a way to
prevent fetchmail from adding it ?


Add "no rewrite" to your POLL line. That suppresses fetchmail from adding its received header.


Well, it doesn't work, I still have this header in each mail :

Received: from mail.defora.org [213.41.173.144]
       by localhost with IMAP (fetchmail-6.2.5)
       for ben(_at_)localhost (single-drop); Sun, 21 Nov 2004 17:05:47 +0100

Here is my .fetchmailrc :

poll mail.defora.org
proto imap
#no envelope
user ben
ssl
nokeep
fetchall
no rewrite
mda "/usr/bin/procmail"


Dunno. It works for me. I'm passing to my sendmail via "is *" and I only get the one that sendmail adds. Without "no rewrite" I get two; one from fetchmail and one from sendmail.
