Hi Peter,

it works great.
I use fetchmail and kolab.

I think you have pop accounts to fetch your mails.
Do do this so:

my fetchmail rc
----------------------------------------
set postmaster "root"

poll 217.20.xxx.xxx with proto POP3
user o.wiemer at audiovisuellemedien.de with password xxx
is o.wiemer at audiovisuellemedien.de
options fetchall

poll 217.20.xxx.xxx with proto POP3
user debian at audiovisuellemedien.de with password xxx
is "debian at audiovisuellemedien.de"
options fetchall
---------------------------------------------
and so on

the smtp server works with pop befor smtp

so i ad the line defer_transports = smtp 
in /kolab/etc/kolab/templates/main.cf.template

now reload postfix
/kolab/sbin/postfix reload

an now i have a script who fetch the mails and flush postfix
i start the script with an cronjob

#/bin/sh
fetchmail  -a -f /root/fetchmailrc
/kolab/sbin/postfix flush

edit crontab with

contab -e
add this line
0,20,30,40,50,0 7-23 * * * /path_to_script/mailer.sh

save the cronjob
Type EXC x

Now your system should work.
I hope this is what you are looking for.

Good night
Olli
