I use fetchyahoo and fetchmail to get my mail, and procmail to sort it. I also use spamassassin to filter my spam. This is all very very simple. For fetchmail I have the following .fetchmailrc file: poll pop.psq.com protocol pop3 username [EMAIL PROTECTED] password xxxxxxxx poll mail.crasseux.com protocol pop3 username trustno1%crasseux.com password xxxxxxxx I have fetchmail run in crontab as: * * * * * fetchmail -m procmail &> /dev/null This runs fetchmail once a minute, passing incoming messages to procmail and sending all ouput from fetchmail (including error messages) to /dev/null. You should probably use the -s (silent flag) to do this instead. I have fetchyahoo run in crontab as: * * * * * fetchyahoo --username=rsoleymani --password=xxxxxxxx --spoolfile=procmail --pipe &> /dev/null This runs fetchyahoo once a minute, passing incoming messages to procmail and sending all output from fetchyahoo to /dev/null, etc. That is all you need to get your mail from yahoo and pop server onto your computer. This is my .procmailrc file that I use to filter my messages: #Use spamassassin to flag spam. :0fw | /usr/bin/spamassassin #Move flagged spam into the spam folder. :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes /home/bijan/Maildir/.spam/ #Handle mailing lists. :0 * ^X-Mailing-List.*debian /home/bijan/Maildir/.lists.debian/ :0 * ^List-Id:.*hurd /home/bijan/Maildir/.lists.hurd/ :0 * ^TO.*ICEBIKE /home/bijan/Maildir/.lists.icebike/ :0 * ^TO.*mlug /home/bijan/Maildir/.lists.mlug/ :0 /home/bijan/Maildir/ man fetchmail, procmail, procmailrc and procmailex should contain enough information. Hope this helps, Bijan --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/OTY0Uof+95vTyAwRAmSSAKCq1OK/TnEuRvAU/QcupXROLC6BwgCfSeJR pn8Fkx/klJIYzQBT2Y2jA9I= =tGMc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
