Either way. I've been doing what you're trying to with
postfix since installing lm7.2. I'd been using sendmail back in
RedHat.
As for postfix & fetchmail, they don't actually function
together -- nor do pine & fetchmail. The all do their own thing
which culminates in one being able to read their mail.
So, I don't remember what was required to set up postfix, but I
do remember extensive docs available from the postfix.org site.
I think it was already set after I configured my system as had
been sendmail when I'd set up RedHat.
If it isn't set up, check postfix's site -- the faq has lots of
info too. Then, for the rest, if you go back to the Web page I'd
created for this very thing only with sendmail in RedHat:
http://Aeon-AL.Com/LinuxHelp.html
& follow the instructions for fetchmail (which hasn't changed
since the version I'd used when I'd created the page), crontab
(also hasn't changed) & for pine (which ~has~ changed, but the
basic stuff I refer to hasn't), you should be up & reading &
sending mail in a matter of only ten-twenty minutes.
One thing, if you havn't updated you pine (I'm running 4.30),
you should do so soon. The version which comes with lm7.2
(4.20?) may have an update, but the update from MandrakeSoft
isn't the current version I'd got from the pine site.
Gotta go to work soon, so I may not be able to respond to any
more questions till tonight.
Meph
