===8<--- from my fetchmailrc - somewhat edited.
defaults mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d XXX"
set syslog
set postmaster ""
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""

   user 'XXX' there with password 'Zeeplefargulburp'
   is 'XXX at morticia.wizardess.wiz' here options pass8bits
   smtpaddress '      '

got creative. (Betcha it's a hard one to crack, though.)
