What you need to do is get an account like [EMAIL PROTECTED] where the web space provider will forward all mail that comes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets forwarded to a local VSNL account. You do not need anyweb space or pop3 space for this. Its pretty cheap. Then using procmail / fetchmail, you can get mail from your VSNL a/c at regular intervals or whenever you dial up to the internet from Linux. Either procmail or fetchmail (not sure which) will then forward the e-mail to the local linux user a/c. It uses the e-mail header in the original e-mail address to find out who the original receipent is. If it cannot find that username, then it forwards such mail to a default user (Eg root) You may also have to setup a pop server on linux. How to exactly do all the above ? I dont know, but its there in an old pc quest mag, or maybe someone on the list can give more details, along with how to setup diald for auto dialing out on any tcp/ip traffic ?
