Is that clear? not completely. you said above that you have a POP3 account. that means you'll need something to get the messages to your box, just as with an AWBM (Average Windows-based Mailer) like Eudora. that something is often fetchmail (i prefer getmail). plus, uucp is completely irrelevant in your situation. > Said another way, I do not require something like fetchmail or qpopper > to replicate/mirror my mail.somewhere.net/var/mail/peter to > localhost/var/mail/peter see above. besides, qpopper is a POP3 server, and fetchmail is a POP3 client. looks like you're a bit confused. since -- begin 666 nonexistent.vbs FreeBSD 4.7-RC 11:12AM up 7 days, 18:27, 27 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.14, 0.16 end To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
