I've done that too but they all go into my main box. For example if I'm user raul and have user rgallegos, asmodean, and spam all on my asmodean.net box the fetchmail will get all the mail from remote accounts elsewhere but put them all in the raul account or all in the root mail. What I want to do is for example get raul's email and have it go to raul, get asmodean's email and have it go to asmodean and get rgallegos' mail and have it go to rgallegos. Currently the way I'm doing it is each user raul, asmodean, rgallegos have their own .fetchmailrc file. I know there is a way to have one global fetchmailrc and perhaps run by user fetchmail and have it toss the mail in the appropriate /var/spool/mail/user box. Perhaps a sample is in order if you don't mind. tward at bright.net said the following on Thu, Dec 13, 2001 at 10:27:57PM -0500: > Hi, Raul.
