That's okay :)

So the /etc/fetchmailrc file basically would have the same contents
as my ~/.fetchmailrc file? My ~/.fetchmailrc file looks like:

  set postmaster "postmaster"
  poll mail.cv1.sdca.home.com with proto POP3
  user "mwagnon1" there with password "MYPASSWORD" is mwagnon here
    options fetchall warnings 3600

One of these days I'm going to have figure out how to run a
mailserver from my box. But I need to get DSL before then.

Thanks again!
