If my .fetchmailrc file looks like
"poll britlinks.co.uk user USERNAME password PASSWORD no dns"
I am told that there is a parsing error. If I make it
"no dns
poll britlinks.co.uk user USERNAME password PASSWORD"
I get a similar error.
I've spent quite some time reading the manpages but can't figure out the
correct format for the file.

I want my mail to other servers to be stored up no matter what mail
program it's from or which user and then transferred when I make a PPP
connection. Is there a straightforward way to do this?

I'd like to make the localhost name britlinks.co.uk so that calling
britlinks.co.uk in a browser opens my local pages and e-mail works using
britlinks.co.uk in place of localhost. I tried changing the name in
linuxconf but httpd refused to work after that.
