Fetchmail has done what I need. BTW: to those on the documentation project: If this is a "FAQ" (and I'm sure it is), why isn't it in either the FAQ or the handbook under "mail" ? Once again, thanks to the other people who responded. (Yes, I know the ideal solution is if the ISP would let me just use the ETRN option, but they don't want to do that, and fetchmail works :-) <><=====================================================><> Michael Doyle phone: +353-1-661-0588 Network Administrator http://indigo.ie/~coopnth/ Co-Operation North E-mail: relyod@co-operation-north.ie (0ffice) relyod@indigo.ie (Personal) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
