A better way to handle this is to tell fetchmail to use your local
username and hostname as the envelope recipient. This prevents the
possibility that you become a relay spammers can use to target other
users of your isp.
You can do this by telling fetchmail to use a certain mda (thus
invoking exim locally).
'wants mda "/usr/sbin/exim %T"' in .fetchmailrc
Alternatively you can ensure that your hostname (and domain, if you
have one) is given in the "local_domains" directive of exim.conf.

Microsoft encrypts your Windows NT password when stored on a Windows CE

simply XOR the password with "susageP", Pegasus spelled backwards.
Pegasus is the code name of Windows CE. This is so pathetic it's
staggering.
