Not strictly a global file - it just allows you to specify which file to
use for polling - it still needs to have the same permissions as the person
running fetchmail (obviously in a very secure environment you wouldn't want
that to be root). I run fetchmail with seperate recipes for receiving SMTP
and POP Email and the only caveat is to ensure that you run each instance
consecutively - otherwise fetchmail reports that it is already running and
aborts.
Some time ago I asked alternate ISPs whom could deliver Email via SMTP -
AIR one of the respondents posted a fetchmail recipe which extracted an
address from a 'X-delivered-to: xxx' header (I had pointed out that using
multi-drop Email to a POP box can cause problems when trying to route mail
to multiple recipients and receive messages from mailing lists which often
do not have the recipient address within the message). This may be in the
archive.
