I am using procmail too. Hence I have got the following in /etc/fetchmailrc

mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %s"

rajesh at debian:~/tmp$ ps ax |grep sendmail
  299 ?        S      0:00 sendmail: MTA: accepting connections
  302 ?        S      0:00 sendmail: MTA: Queue runner at 00:10:00 for /var/spool/mqueue
  698 pts/5    S      0:00 grep sendmail
rajesh at debian:~/tmp$

What should I do so that incoming mail is scanned. I am using
fetchmail/procmail to fetch and deliver mails and sendmail to send the
mails.

Thanks for the replies.

Peace
