a) fetchmail is insecure, since it has a new security bug every month
b) how can more software make the system more secure? More software,

c) This loses the envelope recipient.
d) Why change a winning team?
e) with your current setup, delivery is instantaneous, with fetchmail
you need fixed intervals
