I don't get it, I am supposed not to use root except for (re)configuring
programs/the system,... so, every time I want to get my mail downloaded I
have to enter as root, or else I can't run the smail or sendmail command as
a normal user.

May be there's a way of doing it automatically by writing it somewhere
(probably the same with fetchmail)?
