Surely what you are saying requires using fetchmail ?
I dont want to have to use fetchmail for my mail. How would I go about
getting my isp to support ETRN they have a qmail server , any ideas on how
to configure, install ETRN.
Do you have any knowledge of serialmail ? Can it be used in this case ?
