Hi all! I must tell you guys from my unpleasant experience that fetchmail sucks. It has many bugs, security holes and needlessly complex configuration file. I used fetchmail + gnus for more than half a year. Everything seemed to be OK in the beginning, then, strange things started happening like reinjecting over a hundred old messages, each of which was scrupulously marked by the gnus as 'duplicate'. When I figured out that it was fetchmail's fault I immediately switched to getmail (highly recommended), which I've been using successfully since that. Yes, just use getmail. It is free, simple, clean and very reliable as it was specifically designed to ensure that your mail is never lost or misdirected. -- Rgds Alexey May the source be with you! _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
