Well thank you. I actually had the correct thought in my head and typed
the wrong word, meaning the write postfix rather than smtp. Although
having used getmail for many years, I hadn't realized that fetchmail does
use smtp to deliver, so I stand corrected both in fact and intention.
Getmail can reinject through smtp if necessary too, so even the intention
was incorrect. I blame it on the lack of caffeine, which I shall now
rectify. :)
