define "a normal e-mail account"
did you look in to the examples? Its usually found in /usr/doc/fetchmail
I see a sample.rcfile.gz here on slink/i386. Whats so bad about that? Its
fully commented, maybe too full...
A simple file looks like this:
pop pop.provider.com
protocol POP3 # or auto or whatever you provider provides.
username "user"
password password
# mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %s" # if you want your mail sorted
# better forget this until you know procmail
You can do things like pop over SSH with a preconnect, I use this:
poll localhost port 11110 via localhost with protocol pop3:
username user
password password
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -Y -d %s"
preconnect "ssh -x -c blowfish -C -f -L 11110:server:110 user@server sleep 2 0 </dev/null >/dev/null";
But you should have ssh-agent running and know a bit about ssh to improve
security, and not reduce it. Probably your normal email account does not
allow this.
Ciao,
