Yahoo only provides pop accounts to people who pay them $$. Fetchyahoo
downloads emails by parsing the web page. There is an option in
fetchyahoo to pipe mail to another program. In his case, he could pipe
to "formail|procmail" or simply to "/usr/sbin/sendmail his_user". Both
approaches should work equally well.
