If I have two users, with two "POLL" blocks in fetchmail, then is any parm passed to maildrop that I could use? I know I could set different DEFAULT= statements in each user's $HOME/.mailfilter. But then Maildrop needs to run with $HOME set correctly for each user. Is that how it works? I tried logging $1,$2,$3 etc. variables in my mailfilter, but they are always empty. That was to help me see how it is being called exactly for each situation. Logging is still a bit of a sore point. > > Also, maildrop is very picky on the permissions and the ownership of > your mail filter.
