Quotes around the mda statement in fetchmail.conf?
mda "/usr/binprocmail <args>"

no fetchmail.conf (!!!???)

.....hhhhhmmmmm.......

I have no fetchmail.conf at all....

Where should i create it?
What should i put into it?

I do have my /home/mux/.fetchmailrc however, but it only cointans the info regarding the mail accounts.

BTW, when i run the "fetchmailconf" command i get the following error:

/usr/bin/env: python: No such file or directory.

I haven't looked it into it, but i guess i've got python in a different directory... maybe 'cos of my distro (??)....slack 8 btw
