 you need to specify mta_user to fetchmail user when you configure email2trac previously.
 
+=== Using procmail with fetchmail & email2trac ===
+You may want to filter bounced messages from ever getting to email2trac, otherwise you can end up in an infite loop.
+Simply change your mda in your .fetchmailrc to procmail and create a .procmailrc like this:
+{{{
+PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin
+MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      #you'd better make sure it exists
+DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox      #completely optional
+LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from      #recommended
+
+:0 h c
+* !^FROM_DAEMON
+* !^X-Loop: your.email2trac@emai.address
+| /usr/local/bin/run_email2trac
+}}}
+
+Now only messages that aren't from a daemon or bounced will make it to email2trac.
