IMHO... You don't need to run your own mailserver to solve this. Simply have one of your machines only download the mail. Have the other, download and *remove* the mail from the server. Or possibly, have them both only remove mail that is older than x-days from the server. This will allow you to get the mail onto both machines, assuming you use each machine within the given time. > > I'm after something like using fetchmail on the server to collect the mail, > then probably sort it with procmail before making it available to my home > network.
