One of the things about using unix is that some man pages have a whole lot
of information but are hard to understand at first. There is fetchmailconf
( I think it comes with fetchmail ) to help configuring that. For most pop
stuff all you need is this.

poll mail.yourisp.com with proto POP3:
	user <username> there has password <password> is <local_username> here

To send that directly to procmail you can add another line that says
	and wants mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"

But this may be undesirable because if there's a problem with your filters
the mail goes off into never-never land. It's much safer to send it to an
MTA (I'd recommend exim cause it kicks ass)

In which case you can use exim's filters which are a little easier to read
and write.
