---------------------- fetchmail -v & sleep 60 sendmail -q --------------------- the value 60 is a safe one ... because in my quest for a pop before smtp solution I came across many really weird ones including one that is run every minute via cron !! If you have good implementation then you can even reduce the sleep period to 10-15 seconds.
