Users can run in daemon mode too, although that means you'll have one daemon running for each user. > (IIRC) and the various users all put their separate private email > passwords in a single file in /etc You can omit the passwords from fetchmailrc and include them in individual user's .netrc files,according to the man page. "If you do not specify a password, and fetchmail cannot extract one from your ~/.fetchmailrc file, it will look for a ~/.netrc file in your home directory before requesting one interactively; if an entry matching the mailserver is found in that file, the password will be used. Fetchmail first looks for a match on poll name; if it finds none, it checks for a match on via name." -- Neil Bothwick Unsupported service (adj): Broken (see Demon)
