David, could you kindly send me your line in
~/.fetchmailrc relating to the mda command?


The manual that came with the potato CD's recommends
to add this line:

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


which I would like to replace with a exim execution.

There are two files:

rland@MINI:~$ diff /usr/sbin/exim? /etc/init.d/exim
Binary files /usr/sbin/exim and /etc/init.d/exim differ

The first one is 430696 the snd one 1078bytes small!
Could you kindly clarify this?


The other question is a general question about the "%s" variable
in the procmail line mentioned above.
man procmail explaines ? ? -d recipent ?? ? turnes on the explicit
deliverey mode, yet how can I extract who "%s" is?
