Situation: I run my on mail server on my dsl connection. My isp email account gets occasional email that I would like to get and bring it to my local user account. I thought fetchmail would do the job. In a nutshell, I want to run fetchmail from my rc.conf file so it runs all the time, checks for mail every hour, and delivers it to my mailbox so all my mail is in one mailbox. Help? Other options? p.s. ISP has been very flexible in accomidating me so far but I believe if I ask for one more thing, i.e. to forward the mail, it will completely wipe away my welcome.
