How I lost my mail with fetchmail...
Really, lost. It must be somewhere, but I just don't know where!
I simply used fetchmail to fetch it, just as I'd do from any other machine. This time, however, the mail didn't end up in
And the worst thing of it all is that I don't even know if there was anything important in all that mail
Any ideas, anyone? It's a Slackware machine, btw.

As well, consider replacing fetchmail+procmail(+spamassassin?) by some homegrown Mail::POP3Client [cpan.org]+Email::Filter [cpan.org]+Email::LocalDelivery [cpan.org](+Mail::SpamAssassin [cpan.org]?) combo. The traditional combo requires one process per mail and plus a fixed overhead of several other processes per fetch, so it bogs down quite a bit when polling a heavily populated mailbox.
Besides that, locking works nicer, the syntax is non-arcane, etc etc etc. :-)
