Okay, tried this and it works *beautifully* muchas gracias Binand. But the second instance of fetchmail is not being called if I add a -e50 to the fetchmail being called second. I am getting a message enumerating the number of messages on the server and then fetchmail just seems to stop. Sendmail is called and the queued mails are sent. Any way that I can also use the -e50 flag with this arrangement ? It's really helpful on a dial up. My fetchmailrc already has a line saying set daemon 300, can I then knock off the -d flag and use -e50 ? ps -ax doesn't show fetchmail if I have specified the -e50. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K.
