That's okay :) So the /etc/fetchmailrc file basically would have the same contents as my ~/.fetchmailrc file? My ~/.fetchmailrc file looks like: set postmaster "postmaster" poll mail.cv1.sdca.home.com with proto POP3 user "mwagnon1" there with password "MYPASSWORD" is mwagnon here options fetchall warnings 3600 One of these days I'm going to have figure out how to run a mailserver from my box.
