Anders,

Thank you.

One last question.

Is it possible to run things as you suggest and have the ability to 
both get mail directly from /var/spool/mail if loged on to the SuSE 
box or retrive it via fetchmail from a remote machine AT THE SAME 
TIME, i.e. logged on I run Kmail and Kmail gets mail 
from /var/spool/mail/user which is put there via SMTP / Postfix or 
that same user retrieves his mail via fetchmail if not logged on with 
Kmail up?

I still want users that log on to the suse box to get mail via Kmail / 
local mail box.

Thanks
john
