Also, I'd suggest running fetchmail manually with "-v" (verbose) option. A lot of times you've got sendmail set up to exclude localhost, which is where fetchmail tries to deliver email by default. With the -v flag fetchmail will tell you that mail is being rejected by the MTA. Gary -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
