I have been trying to setup my local machine to receive mail from comcast. The setup uses fetchmail, procmail, and sendmail. The log file /var/log/maillog shows: Jun 20 09:31:02 localhost fetchmail[3155]: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon Jun 20 09:31:06 localhost fetchmail[3155]: 175 messages for r.godzilla at mail.comcast.net (860187 octets).
