I have fetchmail running as a daemon (started by inittab). Here are my settings (sanitized) from .fetchmailrc: # Configuration created Sun Aug 22 13:05:28 1999 by fetchmailconf set postmaster "postmaster" poll pop.ne.mediaone.net with proto POP3 user <my mediaoneuser> is <my local user name> pass <my password> poll mail.attbi.com with proto POP3 user <my attbi user name> is <my local user name> pass <my password> Some versions of fetchmail would quit on a failure. Also, fetchmail keeps a fairly comprehensive log file. (/var/log/fetchmail on my system). On 19 Jun 2002 at 23:14, suse wrote:
