Like redhat said, linuxconfig is obsolete. Just edit the .fetchmailrc
file as root with vi and setup "poll" for all users.
$ sudo cat /root/.fetchmailrc.old
# Configured by jay using vi!
#
set logfile "/var/log/fetchmail"
set postmaster "postmaster"
set nobouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll mail.yourdomain.net via mail.yourdomain.net
with proto IMAP port 143
user 'marcelo' there with password '********' is 'marcelo' here
options fetchall forcecr
folder JUNK INBOX
smtpname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# change proto to pop3 if you need to and comment out the folder and
smtpname lines if you want.
I know I sound like a smart ass but there are circumstances beyond my
control, and I am pretty pissed right now. Check out the unrelated link
below if you want... I am a long time linux user and father of two
wonderful kids, but I have come under attack by local officials!
