Fetchmail and Procmail

2006-06-25 05:48:05
I am attempting to set up 'fetchmail' to directly use 'procmail' as its MDA. I 
Googled about, and found a few suggestions. This is one of the suggestions 
for configuring the 'fetchmail' utility. I would add the following to 
the 'fetchmailrc' file.

        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d $s"

I understand what the '-d' is for, but what is the '$s' required for?

There are some twenty users that will be having mail delivered to them via 
this setup. I presently have procmail activated from the 'sendmail.mc' file 
with this:

        FEATURE(`local_procmail')

However, I would rather bypass sendmail entirely if possible.

Perhaps someone else who is doing something like this could give me some 
assistance. I do not want to implement it until I am sure it will work.

Ciao
