Unfortunately I only have a limited mail account and I cannot use procmail on 
the uklinux mailserver. Otherwise your alternatives are the way to go.  Using 
procmail locally is probably too late, fetchmail has done it's worst.

It is a problem that I keep going back to, in the meantime I just alias 
postmaster to myself, which is ok in my particular setup.
