Re: fetchmail sending mail back to ISP



Paul,

fetchmail doesn't put email anywhere. It connects to port 25, which is
the port that your Mail Transfer Agent uses. Fetchmail connects to your
mail server and downloads messages, and delivers them to port 25 where
either smail or exim is listening. Then exim or smail is responsible
for delivering the messages to local users.

Here is my .fetchmailrc

poll mail.acorn.net
proto pop3
user aa204
password xxxxxx

poll pop.raex.com
proto pop3
user jfoltz
password xxxxxxxx

poll pop.kent.edu
proto pop3
user jfoltz
password xxxxxx
