Nearly there I have exim and fetchmail, working perfectly together .. there may be reasons in the future for using fetchmail, so I stuck with it, thanks to everyone for their help. Apreciated.
However I have one last question in this running saga: procmail:
I put the following in my exim configure file , however it does not seam to get invoked, this was knocked up from the documentation and previous posts to this list.
under "begin routers" I have:
procmail:
driver = accept
require_files = "${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc:+PROCMAILDIR/procmail :!${home}/.forward"
transport = procmail_pipe
The above is the last router mentioned.
then under "begin transports" I have:
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
delivery_date_add = true
envelope_to_add = true
return_path_add = true
path = "PROCMAILDIR:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
command = "procmail -a ${substr_1:${local_part_suffix}} -d ${local_part}"
user = ${local_part}
This is the first transport under local transports in the file.
Many Thanks
Toby.
