Hi Scott, Adam, and all ... I run a fetchmail daemon in my root account, and in the .fetchmailrc there are lines that redirect incoming mail from root to the appropriate user. So one copy of fetchmail, running as a daemon, can retrieve and redistribute my incoming mail to several local users. Here is an example of the line that gets this done: user chuckh at sent.com password ###### is chuckh here The phrase "is chuckh here" is the critical phrase that redirects the mail arriving at root to the user "chuckh". When I am away from my computer, which occasionally happens, I kill the daemon with "fetchmail -q" and then restart it later. One more way to skin a cat.
