yes. yes.

when roger fetches his yahoo or whatever mail, those mails should be injected
(by qmail) into /var/qmail/maildirs/roger/Maildir
when bill fetches his msn mail, those mails should be injected into
/var/qmail/maildirs/bill/Maildir

if it's on a per (virtual) basis, does it mean that roger's fetchmailrc resides
in /var/qmail/maildirs/roger/.fetchmailrc? and bill's fetchmailrc in
/var/qmail/maildirs/bill/.fetchmailrc ?

emmm, that looks very insecure. and surely this fetchmailrc resides in
/var/qmail/maildirs/.fetchmailrc (vmail's home) wouldn't it? does this mean,
it's *NOT* on per (virtual) user basis?


is/are there any *good* howto in doing this?
i am bloody sure many have successfully implemented what i intend to do.

i have been spending more than 10 days to get this fetchmail thingy running. if
conversing off the list (on this topic) is more appropriate, please let m know.
i am waiting.

best regards,
roger
