If you set up your maildrop rules to use "spamc" as an xfilter, then you can deliver mail directly to maildrop. It's best to do this... your mail is less likely to be rejected. If courier won't accept a message (for instance, because the sender's DNS went offline never to return), that message will get stuck on your POP server, and fetchmail will download it every time it checks, and generally waste a lot of bandwidth.

great, now the mail at least arrives on my system. The problem is, that it only arrives in the correct account if fetchmail is running as the user that it is fetching mail for. If I try to use system-wide fetchmail, then all mail ends up in the fetchmail users homedir, /var/run/fetchmail. any ideas about that? I suppose using smtp would help, but that brings me back to the original problem.
