what's wine for, then?

Ken's right; Outlook and fetchmail won't run on the same system, unless you run Outlook inside of an emulator on Linux, or fetchmail within Cygwin.
But goodness knows, you're _definitely_ going to want to run Outlook as your mail client. (Note: this is sarcasm. I use Outlook by necessity for my work e-mail account, and am not a fan. Try Thunderbird or another client.)

Ken: Nice solution to the "reply/reply-to-list" problem.

I have fetchmail setup to download messages from my companies ISP. It is doing
that correctly for my test account. However when I use the email client
(Outlook in this Case) i cannot download the messages to Outlook.
Am I missing a part here. Do I need to also be using Sendmail or Postfix along
with fetchmail in order to allow Outlook to download the messages. Although I
am not new to Linux this is my first attempt at something like this so any
additional help or ideas would be very helpful. The end result I want is to use
SpamAssasin to filter Spam before the User can download it.


You need to set up a local pop or imap (preferred) mail server.




Isn't that was fetchmail does?



I wasn't aware of fetchmail running on a system running Outlook.


Maybe I have not been clear. I want my Outlook Clients to be able to download their email to their local computers running Outlook on Windows XP. Only after it has been filtered with spamassassin
