[TriLUG] Mail Question

[Joseph Tate]

Could it be that gotmail and fetchyahoo aren't redelivering mail through 
postfix like fetchmail does?  That's the reason that mail retrieved via 
fetchmail are processed by spamassassin: fetchmail hands off to postfix 
to do the local delivery.  Make sure that gotmail and fetchyahoo don't 
deliver straight to your Inbox.  Do the procmail rules work on the 
messages delivered through fetchyahoo and gotmail?
