JC... The whole problem is that the above would whitelist EVERYTHING,
since fetchmail delivers via 127.0.0.1 ... Not a good thing.
So either one needs bypass MailScanner when releasing messages (my
advice), or make fetchmail deliver via the NIC IFs IP address, thus
making it more "equivalent" to how normal smtp delivery happens (Drews
advice). ... I think Drews solution is a tad simpler than mine... so
would recommend using that:-).
