Re: package for fetch mails?
My fbsd box is (ADSL) connected to the net through dynamic IPs, so no mails are able to send in, they go to the account offered by my ISP. i need to check mail manually a period of time. Is there any package that can be used to fetch mails back to my fbsd box in every 10 or 20 min. automatically? Yes, check out fetchmail: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=fetchmailstype=all But in the future please send such questions to the freebsd-questions mailing list, not to freebsd-current.

RE: package for fetch mails?
Use xfmail, a little bit old proggie, but very practical and generic. Set it up to check your mail every x minutes, using the mail server as a pop3 server ( xfmail wil log in, give your password to the server, retrieve the mail, and spool it to a file usually /var/mail/your_user_account_on_your_pc which will keep the messages) Try it , neat little proggie P.S. If you use current ,download the port and rebuild it using xforms-0.88.1 libraries On 11-Oct-00 Donny Lee wrote: Hi there, My fbsd box is (ADSL) connected to the net through dynamic IPs, so no mails are able to send in, they go to the account offered by my ISP. i need to check mail manually a period of time.
