I use UUCP and wanted to do the same sort of retrieval. I created a shell script which calls the appropriate daemon (UUCICO in my case). I then added an entry into the cron table, /etc/crontab, and cron then runs the script as root and picks up the mail at designated intervals. The permissions on the script are set as 700 and are owned by root:root. Smail/elm simply queue the out-bound mail until the script is ran. In-bound mail is automatically distributed. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
