Re: fetchmail woes
The command your looking for is 'chmod 710 /root/.fetchmailrc' NOT chown which changes the owner of the file. Hope that helps Graham.

RE: fetchmail woes
Hurrah indeed!
Thanks to Kris and Mark Brown and all who mailed help for this. exim and
fetchmail now work. All that's left is to set up IMP for web-based mail
access.
