The script would mostly just print all it's input, but when it sees the LOGIN message, it also triggers the fetchmail. Alternatively, you could create a more complex scheme that looks at the timestamps on the Maildir entries, but that would be much more complex since it would have to ignore artifacts of itself. Other options: a "special" Maildir directory for which a modification to a file would trigger the fetchmail, so just copy any old message to it and the fetch would occur. Or a special address on the server (e.g. "fetchmail-userid") which would trigger a fetch if you send anything to it (using maildrop). > Regards, > Norbert Malc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
