-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 You were asking about setting up e-mail. Well, I don't have Debian or Fedora but want to comment concerning fetchmail. You expressed a problem with fetchmail not being automatic anough. Well, just start fetchmail with a command line option like -d 600. That option causes fetchmail to go into daemon mode and poll every 10 minutes. the value after the -d tells how often to do the polling. I have my machine do that and it polls for four different mail boxes at the same time. I never have to tend to it again while my system is up. The SMTP stuff is usually done through sendmail, exim, or whatever MTA the distro uses. I believe Debian uses exim and I know Slackware uses sendmail. Not sure about Fedora. I personally run Slackware but uninstalled the sendmail package and use my own package of exim. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFTztfWSjv55S0LfERA5qYAKDg7g5SZ1oOINmaANQ2bxQ2VFyIwACg2vRe 29l7VO0P5Xn6QNLnAzTmQlU= =54lX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
