ok, so far I've got the server collecting mail from the ISP for a test
account I set up. however, the mail did not go to
/var/spool/mail/test0001, it went to /var/spool/mail/joehill.
Now, for the fetchmailrc, I thought the postmaster was the person
responsible for the server, ie. the admin, so I put "joehill".
I also thought that by putting 'here "test0001"' in the poll section
that it would know to dump the mail in /var/spool/mail/test0001.
Also, I have courier installed on the mail server, but when I try to
connect to it to retrieve mail, it hangs on "authenticating". The
parameters I used in Sylpheed were 192.168.0.5 for the POP3 server and
the user and pass for that account on the server. I also specified to
use port 110, just in case.
Movin slowly forward, thanks for all the guidance folks!
