Yep, these typos are killing me. That got ssmtp working, and I'm sending mail out quite nicely with mutt now. However, into each life a little rain must fall. Fetchmail is no longer working. After googling the error message I found that fetchmail uses sendmail to deliver mail to my mail spool, and I disabled sendmail after installing ssmtp. Hoepfully I can find a way to get fetchmail to deliver directly to my spool. Back to the man pages. Thanks for your help.

Any ideas? It looks to me as if mailhub should be an fqdn of a mail relay server, not an email address...

If you don't mind the added complexity, you can always tell fetchmail to use procmail as your local delivery agent. This gives you the opportunity then to filter and sort mail as it comes in. poll your.mail.host user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' there with password '' is 'you' here and wants mda /usr/local/bin/procmail Just a thought.
