Hi James,
I use SuSE rather than redhat and out of the box it supposedly comes
configured to use a script called poll.tcpip to get this to work I had to
uncomment a line in the ip-up script, you may need to do the same with
ip-up.local.
My poll.tcpip file contains the following lines for fetchmail, the -f flag
gives fetchmail a global config file to use.
>>>
# Do we get mails with fetchmail over pop3/imap?
# We support only a system wide configuration
# file /etc/fetchmailrc.
#
while true ; do
test -x /usr/bin/fetchmail || break
test -r /etc/fetchmailrc || break
/usr/bin/fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc
>>>>
My config file reads something like this
set postmaster "dode"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll pop.ntlworld.com with proto POP3
user "foo1" there with password "poo1" is dode here options fetchall
user "foo2" there with password "poo2" is dode here options fetchall
user "foo3" there with password "poo3" is jo here options fetchall
I did try and automatically match remote and local addresses at one point
with little success and with only half dozen addresses to manage the above
isn't much of a problem.
