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.

You need to set up a local pop or imap (preferred) mail server.
Isn't that was fetchmail does?

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

As somebody else mentioned you will need to setup either pop3 or imap. imap will allow the email to be stored on the server, if this is not a requirement simply set up pop3. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

After the filtering, mail still resides on your Linux box. You need to configure Outlook to query your Linux server to retrieve that mail - and run either POP or IMAP server on the Linux machine to deal with those requests. If your statement above completely describes your requirements, then POP is sufficient.
