that sounds sort of what I am trying to do. I have about 6 different addresses because they all relate to different things. I guess my main goal is to store all those messages centrally in a single database so I can search for messaages etc. I will still need to send mail out as any one of those accounts.
The reason I was using fetchmail is that i dont have control of all the domains. Mail will come to different accounts on several different servers and i just want to pull my mail into this not everyone that has accounts on that domain. sean On Fri, 2003-10-24 at 16:54, Jeff Brenton wrote: > Hello Sean, > > SH> That sounds great.
