Alternatively, how can I achieve in general that Gnus fetches my mail, sends it through Spam Assassin and splits it in my split routine? The Spam Assassin daemon spamd is active.

(Very difficult stuff I must say.) Anyway, I still like SpamAssasin's method most. Unfortunately a search in Gnus' sources didn't show any implicit connection with SpamAssassin. The manual still claims that the snippet from my original posting works, however it doesn't. Can it be my rather odd backend (nnfolder)?

I tried to use cygwin - fetchmail but called from outsite the cygwin environment -- but like this, fetchmail obviously can't find the /var/spool/mail folder. I also didn't find any solution to change this in a 'windows path' unfortunately. So my question: how can you start the fetchmail in the cygwin environment let's say with the windows start up? Many Thanks for any hints ..

Well I see.. You don't really store it with fetchmail , but you deliver it directly to procmail.. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

But I couldn't find a way to make fetchmal send the mail to stdout. It wants to sent it to port 25 where it expects some other program that listens, or it starts the MTA by itself. >> Maybe you can also tell fetchmail to invoke formail directly.

As said, as far as I can see fetchmail insists on re-sending the mail. I didn't even find a possibility that fetchmail writes my mail to a file! I had to use sendmail for that. On the other hand, maybe one can do a little magic with fetchmail's mda option. > This works for me: > > [...] > > I'm still running in a biforcated world. gnus thinks I'm on a WinDOS > machine, ergo the "C:/"-rooted path, but fetchmail is being run from > cygwin and has a "/"-rooted path. Configure as necessary. Hmm, you use procmail insead of sendmail. Is this better? Tschoe, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger, aquisgrana ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
