If you do not want to use your own smtp capibilities, e.g. sendmail or
exim on your own system, for sending mail, then you need to specify an
external smtp server. That's how to send mail. The fetchmailrc you have is
fairly OK, but you might want a 'set daemon' statement to tell it how
often to go
out and get your incoming mail. I've included my current .fetchmailrc
below (edited, of course).

Then, you execute fetchmail as:

	fetchmail -n

That way it will just keep on working. If you want to watch it do its
thing, try fetchmail -d0.

set daemon 60

poll 165.212.14.253
proto pop3
user USERNAME
pass PASSWORD

poll 216.254.0.194
proto pop3
user USERNAME
pass PASSWORD
