> .) with fetchmail you get the mails from your isp's.
Yes it fetches it and creates a single file called /var/spool/mail/username
(username being the name of the person that is logged on)
Will qmail read this single file and send the emails to the appropriate
accounts?

OK I'm with you so far.

OK so qmail has replace the old mbox method?
> .) set up qmail-pop3d
OK to do this it told me to put the following lines in my boot script:
tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
What script file would you suggest I put these lines in? Perhaps in a
new script in my /etc/rc.d dir?

This I have done.

I don't have a file in this /control/ directory called smtproutes. I
assume I have to create one but where do i find out the correct method
of doing this?
I found this : http://www.glasswings.com.au/qmail/man/man8/qmail-smtpd.html
But It doesn't really tell me how to construct the file.
Thanks again. You have been a source of inspiration to me.
