Probably my worthless $.02, but I am using a single-drop fetchmail mailbox, and a proper list of regexp-filters in my ~/.gnus to split incoming mail in nnml:* folders which XEmacs handles exactly like newgroups, and it all kind of feels cool. But then again, I am probably too much of an Emacs fan, so you have to ignore me :) Fetchmail works nicely with sendmail, but you need a properly configured sendmail in order to use it. AFAIK, with or without fetchmail you have to configure sendmail *correctly* though. Ciao. -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
