Hi, |

I am looking into replacing fetchmail with getmail on my mail |
| 4 |
gateway system (I want to use getmails per instance IDLE parameter). |
| 5 |
The docs say that it can work with postfix, however suitable examples |
| 6 |
and information is lacking. Currently fetchmail is delivering multiple |
| 7 |
accounts via port localhost:10026 to postfix. But I cant figure out how |
| 8 |
to get getmail to deliver mail to localhost:10026 like fetchmail can. |
| 9 |
This looks like a common use, but I cant see how to do it. |

Existing postfix/master.cf: working with fetchmail |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
127.0.0.1:10026 inet n - n - - smtpd |
| 14 |
-o syslog_name=postfix-fetchmail |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|

getmail: this doesnt work |

|

[destination] |
| 20 |
type = MDA_external |
| 21 |
path = /usr/sbin/sendmail |
| 22 |
arguments = ("-i", "-bm", "valid_user@127.0.0.1:10026") |
| 23 |
unixfrom = true |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Delivery to an mbox directory works fine, and the mail system itself |
| 27 |
including postfix has been working for years (with regular updates.). |
