thanks for the tip.. but I do not run X on the gateway... I use the following in my .fetchmailrc file to get my mail from Demon. This is for a "multidrop" mailbox, where all mail for a domain goes into one mailbox at my ISP, and it is collected by fetchmail and delivered from user@mydomain, to user@localhost You need to change: POLLINTERVAL to a number of seconds between polls [300 = 5 mins] POSTMASTER to the local user who is postmaster
