I'm still having trouble with fetchmail. It fetches mail from five different POP3 accounts and drops in in my /var/mail/hans. Some mails are duplicated. Sometimes it would be all the mail in one box, sometimes a few here and there. I've verified that the mails aren't on the servers in duplicate, and don't get downloaded twice either. It just somehow doubles when being delivered.
Any clues as to why this is happening? man fetchmail wasn't a lot of help, google mostly gave me links to fetchmail source (?)
You could user procmail to have all the email from each account dropped into corrisponding email boxes under the same directory. So under ~/Mail you could have mailboxes that are for each of your accounts and you can have rules that work for each account. Just use fetchmail to pull the mail but hand it off to procmail for sorting and filtering which is what procmail is good at. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----------------------------------------------------------- The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in the opposite direction.
