To enable fetchmail as demon:
# /etc/init.d/fetchmail start
To have fetchmail start automatically at boot:
# rc-update add fetchmail default
To suspend fetchmail:
# /etc/init.d/fetchmail stop

Yes

Yes; have a look at the fetchmail manual (-mda command)

When I tried it, this didn't seem to work for me. I tried using an empty
/etc/fetchmailrc because I wanted fetchmail to go straight to the
~/.fetchmailrc's, but it complained that no server was specified.
I'm not panicked about this any more because I have decided to use the
relatively painless webmin to configure the ~/.fetchmailrc's and
schedule cron jobs. even though it isn't exactly what I wanted. That
said, if anyone knows what I should have done to get the fetchmail
service to use the ~/.fetchmailrc's rather than /etc/fetchmailrc I would
appreciate it.
Many thanks.
Robert
