Re: downloading mail

My .fetchmailrc has this:
poll mail.copper.net protocol pop3
user "mike..."with pass "" is "root" here
forcecr smtpaddress localhost fetchall
mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f %F -- %T"
HTH,
Mike

fetchmailrc is the incantation you're looking for. The colour of the
goat is optional.

downloading mail

[Bob Holtzman]

fetchmail
fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified.

which is pretty strange since 

less fetchmail
poll "pop.west.cox.net"
protocol pop3  
username "holtzm"   
#password "4vr4mz4v3l"   
password ""
mimedecode  
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f -"

Tried a few other cominations including .fetchmail and .fetchmairc with
no better results.

I'mmissing something obvious, but what?

downloading mail from demon

[Joe Mc Cool]

Please,

currently the users on my small sarge network use Mozilla to read mail 
from Demon.co.uk.  They stipulate their incoming user name as 
user_name+benburb  to pop3.demon.co.uk.


I would like to change this setup so that my Debian box automatically 
pulls down the emails for ALL USERS.  The users will then change their 
Mozilla account details to extract their mails from the Debian box.


Surely I can do this using the OS ?

I need to do this in order to implement mail forwarding (my kids are 
leaving home !).


Thanks

Joe

Not sure of which configuration you are thinking of by mentioning mail 
forwarding? Do you want to forward the mail to other remote boxes 
automagically? That will be the job of an MTA like courier, exim or sendmail. 
But maybe you want just one box and your users can dial into it and download 
mail via POP3 or IMAP. Then fetchmail really is your friend.

Cheers, Eike

downloading mail?

[0debian user]

I have a PPP dialup (56k modem) account to the net and get a dynamic IP. I 
am not always connected. I would like  to be able to send mail outside (i 
can send mail locally fine) to other domains besides my localhost. Ideally I 
could send message and they would be queued and automatically delivered once 
a PPP connection was detected. How precisely may I do this? Mail config 
files and detailed instructions welcomed :)

exim's default configuration queues mail until a connection is
established, then sends.  Now, you want to run eximconfig as root and
set up as a satellite system.  The smarthost is your ISP's outgoing
mail server.

If you want incoming mail to go to your system mailbox, check out
fetchmail.  If you make your configuration systemwide in
/etc/fetchmail.conf, fetchmail will start a daemon at boot and check
on whatever interval you have set.  The fetchmail documentation is
pretty good and has some good examples in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail

Set up a local mail server such as exim4 on your pc. The retry rules
of exim could send the mail when the link is up, or you could initiate
it using a script triggered by pon.
