But there's no earthly need for cron, if you run fetchmail as a daemon. Mine polls the hosts nominated in ~/.fetchmailrc each 600 seconds, delivering to port 25. Postfix then invokes procmail for message delivery sorting. (Probably don't need postfix, but it's a habit of over 30 years to have an MTA.)
Well, years ago (more than 10?) I did run fetchmail as a daemon but it would sometimes hang or just die leaving my dovecot inbox silent for days before I would know something was wrong. I couldn't figure out where the issue was so cron was the work-around.
You make a good point however and get me thinking... I should change my setup to fetchmail as a daemon again (a lot changes with software overa a couple years) and perhaps monitor the status with SMS.
This still leaves the question however, is there a way to disable the elogind messages in syslog? It seems like a lot of useless chatter in the syslogs.
