Thanks for the input, I'm not sure if I want to try it either way really.
The way I have it is that my PC at home checks my server with fetchmail and
forwards a copy. Nice thing is that I can have fetchmail run at specific
times. That way I don't have to read spam about how to enlarge my penis at
4AM as well as other times of the day ;-} Correct me if I am wrong but I
think I would need to run the procmail recipe on my server and take any
email at any time.
