wherever you want ... 1. If you are creating a single mailuser to pop down mail for ALL users on your domain and distribute it to the LAN, set up a user "mailuser" (say) - and then distribute the mails using fetchmail "multidrop" mode to all the users on the lan. Or give all the users their own remote pop3 mailboxes, makes your job much easier to distribute mails locally. 2. If all you are checking is your personal account set up a user "amit" and use that. > poll 192.160.145.151 with protocol pop3 > user root with password girottee is root here. that is for your lan? dont use user root... > If this is to be given then the gateway server should > act as a POP3 server so that mails can be fetched, > isn't it. yeah thats the basic idea (from win98 machines polling the local lan) > And where should i put the following entries > -for online -- > sendmail -q5m > fetchmail -a -F -d 300 -L /var/log/fetchmail.log /etc/ppp/ip-up.local > --for offline--- > fetchmail --quitt > /sbin/sendmail -q1h /etc/ppp/ip-down.local happen you are on a dialup. startup / shutdwon may be different if on isdn ... -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #074 -**< Sub : Best Screen Saver >**- The best screen saver for your system is the Power switch of your monitor - saves both electricity and phosphor ....
