Nope. Qpopper is a POP3 server. It is the program that email clients connect to to download their email. The program you want is fetchmail. However, fetchmail is really designed to be used either by a single user or by someone on a temporary (dialup/ISDN/etc.) link. If you have full-time connectivity and a static IP space, it would probably be better for you to have your ISP send the mail to this SUSE box and then have your clients connect to the SUSE box to get their email. Qpopper could then be used to allow the clients to download their email. You should be able to contact your ISP for help setting up this system. - -- Ted Cabeen http://www.pobox.com/~secabeen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check Website or Keyserver for PGP/GPG Key BA0349D2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." -F.
