Yep - that would be the easy way to set it up.
Actually - it works out of the Box for postfix and pop3. Just make sure you
enable the localdomain to receive and send Mails.
The $HOME/.fetchmailrc should have the following:
poll mail.server.bla protocol pop3
user <username>, with password "<secret>", is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here
In the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file - add the following line:
# Starting fetchmail for different users
su <dau> -c "fetchmail -d 900 --syslog"
This line will start the fetchmail-process to get the mails all
900s/15minutes. You can decrease the time if you want.
Note that I used dau as username for the examples.
localdomain is the valid domain the Mailsserver will accept mAILS.
For pop3 to work - you have make sure the xinetd-daemon has the pop3/imap
servers enabled in the config-files:
/etc/xinetd.d/imap
/etc/xinetd.d/imaps
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop2
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop3
/etc/xinetd.d/pop3s
That's mainly it ...
Cheers
