Yes. I did this on a dialup firewall. The firewall was se up to fire up fetchmail when it had a live connection, and shut down fetchmail and the connection when traffic ended. The firewall also had an IMAP server. I used fetchmail on other systems to get email from the server to the other machines. I set up an account on the firewall for each user inside the firewall, and set up per account fetching rules, but fetchmail ran as root. Use fetchmails "user foo there is user bar here" syntax to toss the email into the appropriate accounts. > Additionally, I've seen a utility called fetchmailconf in previous > versions, is that available for redhat 8 or was it dropped? It is not in RH 8.0; don't ask me why. Get an RPM of the latest version (fetchmail-6.2.1-1) from ESR's home page. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/ Fetchmailconf is in ESR's RPMs. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
