> POP and IMAP (I think) will lose all the envelope information, You've been listening to Terry too long. It's certainly not the case, although I've decided to quit arguing with Terry, since it's an excercise in futility. No matter what you say, he'll either change the subject or simply overwhelm you with useless/unrelated material until you simply abandon any hope of trying to give out useful information.

I've been get all of my envelope information, and there is no worries. For 'fetching' email, fetchmail is a very good solution. However, there is also another fairly trivial solution that works well, *IF* you have a static IP address. ETRN also is a good 'fetch' mechanism, if your ISP sets up MX records for you. When you come up, you simply telnet into your ISP's mail server, then type 'ETRN foobar.com', and it'll dump all your email to the IP address of your static configuration. However, this won't work for roving users. Nate > > On Tue, 2 Oct 2001, Daniel O'Connor wrote: > > > > > On 01-Oct-2001 Lyndon Nerenberg wrote: > > > UUCP still gets used.
