Glen, thanks for the reply.
However if I su as local user (example george) and local user george has .fetchmailrc all of the incomming mails endup in /var/spool/mail/george mailbox. Even if the message was fpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] My ISP is holding all of the messages in one mailbox. I am looking for some way to sort incoming mail to separate (proper) mailboxes.
I su as george
fetchmail -v
all messages are delivered to george@localhost account acording to maillog
Any idea
Maybe it is not posible to doit. Do I have to use procmail and .procmailrc file to somehow do this trick?
Thanks again for your help

Subject: Re: Sorting incoming mails to individual mailboxes
Something I forgot to mention:
>ifup ppp0
>su ispuseraccount -c fetchmail
The above should read:
ifup ppp0
su localuser -c fetchmail
This tells the shell to run the fetchmail file in ~/, which should have
all your ISP login information. Your local username can be the same or
different from your ISP username.
