[Fetchmail-users] Problem using fetchmail with a user

[<arr...@ra...>]

I am running Mageia 4.0 which includes fetchmail 6.3.26.  The following is my
entire /etc/fetchmailrc:

    set postmaster "arromdee"
    set bouncemail
    set no spambounce
    set softbounce
    set properties ""
    poll mail.xxxxxx.net with proto POP3
        user 'arromdee' password 'xxxxxxxx' mda "/bin/procmail -d arromdee"

I want to run fetchmail as a service, for which Mageia supplies a script in
/etc/rc.d.  I want it to retrieve the mail from user arromdee on the remote
system and deliver it to user arromdee on my local machine.

This /etc/fetchmailrc does work.  However, I want to be able to put the
appropriate lines in my user-specific $HOME/.fetchmailrc, not in the global
/etc/fetchmailrc.  How can I do this?  It doesn't seem like my user-specific
.fetchmailrc is read at all (unless I run fetchmail as myself instead of as
root).
