Hi all,
I know that there has been a lot of talk lately about fetchmail in this
mailing list recently. I am sorry I didn't paid much attention then...
Anyway, this is my problem: I have a ethernet connection with a mail
server (POP3) and I would like to retreive mail every now and then. My
problems are:
- should I run fetchmail as a daemon from a boot script and have a
.fetchmailrc in my home directory or should I put a fetchmail command in
my .profile?
- How can I skip authentification? My account name on the server is 'bgd'
and the passwd is 'my_pass' (can you believe that??? I DO trust you,
guys...). The server name is 'deltanet.ro'. I'm currently using:
fetchmail -p POP3 -d 120 -u bgd deltanet.ro
| | | |
mail server | | |
| | |
run as a daemon | |
| |
user name |
mail server
Please corect me if I'm wrong...
What options should I use to skip giving the password every time fetchmail
checks for new mail???
Thanks & Have fun,
bogdan
