How do you normally check your email? where do your cron messages get sent? what happens if you do: echo "Test now hangup" | sendmail "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" And did you make sure that such transport worked and was avaiable before configuring fetchmail to work? (always test each application before going to the next level. its not good to build systems like this without testing) Probably postfix delivers the email correctly, but you don't know how you configured postfix, nor where your email is stored. time to see how to access it. :) //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
