At present I have two internet connections (ADSL with variable IP & permanent dialup modem with public IPs), a bunch of assorted IMAP / POP3 email accounts, two FreeBSD gateways (one running the sendmail / cucipop), and various FreeBSD / Win9x/ WinME / W2K, Solaris workstations and everything simple & reliable. I did look at fetchmail, procmail & friends but never had the time to wade through the configuration nightmare .... one day I guess I'll spend the time & write up a logical "step by step" explanation but at present there are heaps of things with higher priority (like they pay the bills) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
