Try the `su' command with the -c switch.

You can set fetchmail to send the e-mail to another user (using something
like "to jiri@baum.com.au"), but obviously that only works if you are
getting fetchmail to send all e-mail there, not if you are getting it to
guess the recipient.

No, but then again regular users can't boot the machine, either...

We'll know the future has arrived when every mailer transparently
quotes lines that begin with "From ", but no-one remembers why.
