It's not clear whether the OP is "always-on" or using dialup; I
suspect the latter. If so, daemon mode isn't really what you want. For
a dialup it's probably better to simply call it by typing 'fetchmail'
when you connect. This is why I've been going on about ~/.fetchmailrc.
If you're wanting to use daemon mode, tell me and I'll shut up :-)
