Fetchmail can get your mail for you and deliver it to port 25 (to Exim). That is what I do. Then use an Exim .forward file to do what you are doing with Procmail. There is filtering documentation at http://www.exim.org and there are also sample filters on their ftp site. As for fetchmail, I run it as a daemon when online and I have something like: poll pop3.myisp.net with proto POP3 user "mylogin" there with password "mypassword" is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here In my .fetchmailrc Use fetchmailconf to assist you if needed. -- Andrew
