Hi Jim - My fetchmailrc is very similar to yours. Here is what it looks like: poll mail.mhonline.net protocol pop3 user chuckh password xxxxxxxx fetchall I am not sure what you mean by "sending" mail with fetchmail. At the risk of stating the obvious, fetchmail does not send mail, ikt fetches mail. I use pine, which gives me the option of letting my ISP's smart host handle my outgoing mail directly, or letting my own copy of sendmail handle it. Fetchmail is not involved in my outgoing mail at all, unless I totally misunderstand things.
