Of course it works ;-) You set the crontab for *root*, and the fetchmail.rc can point to and deliver mail to the correct mailboxes based on the fetchmail.rc file briefly in the fetchmail.rc file nonroot there is root here someotheruserthere is localuserhere anotheruserthere is thirdlinuxuserhere etc .... if you just have one user set the crontab up under that user if its multiple users either setup a crontab for each... or a fetchmail.rc under root for all users at once rob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morsal Roudbay wrote:
thanks for your email
sorry to say this, but what u said doesnt work because fetchmail delivers the email to the user that runs the .fetchmailrc.....

run the cron job from user cron rather than /etc/crontab
do a
crontab -u root -e
will put you in edit mode for roots crontab
enter the cron scheduling and you will not receive themail notice

Hi! I have setup cron to run fetchmail every 10 minutes. Every time fetchmail is ran a msg is sent to my inbox, it's very annoying... so I wonder how I can turn this off?
TIA
