[Hudlug] Fetchmail

[Tim Schofield]

Hi Simon

I have individual .fetchmailrc files in each users home directory, and each file seperately polls the pop3 server at my isp.

Eg

/home/tim/.fetchmailrc has anb entry

Poll pop3.blueyonder.co.uk with proto POP3
  user 'XXXX' there with password 'XXXXXXXX' is 'tim' here options striper

Then in my wifes home directory there is an equivalent entry for her.

Hope this helps

Tim

Dear all

I am trying to mess with fetchmail on a Red Hat 9 box. 

I cannot uderstand the way to set up the .fetchmailc

All mail just goes to root or  the first declared user

so can anyone give me an example config

I have an acount with an isp which is anyone at techteach.techteach.net

The local server is server1.techteach.co.uk

I want users on server1 to get the mail from techteach.techteach.net

I.e.  joe at techteach.techteach.net should go to joe on server1
      bob at techteach.techteach.net should go to bob on server1


any help would be most handy

regards
Simon
