I am attempting to install fetchmail and procmail on my server.
Fetchmail gets the mail OK and passes it on to procmail which says it writes it to the spool file but it does not arrive.

If you run "cat /var/spool/mail/timali" the mail is there but no email client can see it.

my fetchmailrc file is
poll mail.plus.net proto pop3
user "xxxxxxxxx"
pass "xxxxxxx"
mda "/usr/bin/procmail"
keep



my procmailrc file is
VERBOSE=ON
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/timali
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log

#Default rule
:0
$DEFAULT

Any ideas ?

I guess this has to be with the config of the email client you're using, not fetchmail + procmail, because as you say, the mail is there.

Check again the client config, making sure it points to the right direction and so on. Moreover, which email server you want to use?
