For delivery to other users use the 'user <remote-user> there has password <remote-passwd> is <local-user> here' syntax in your fetchmailrc. Look at the 'THE RUN CONTROL FILE' and 'CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES' sections in the man page as well as /usr/doc/fetchmail/sample.rcfile.gz. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
