> I am trying to get fetchmail 3.9.4 working with the FreeBSD 2.2.2 Fetchmail is now up to version 4.2.8 with 4.2.9 coming soon. It should compile ``out of the box'', and you can get the latest version from: ftp://ftp.ccil.org/pub/esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-4.2.8.tar.gz > distribution.

Otherwise should talk directly to Eric Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> or subscribe to the fetchmail-friends mailing list (from the fetchmail FAQ): G5. Is there a mailing list for exchanging tips? There is a fetchmail-friends list for people who want to discuss fixes and improvements in fetchmail and help co-develop it. The list is at fetchmail-friends@ccil.org and is a SmartList reflector; sign up in the usual way with a message containing the word "subscribe" in the subject line sent to to fetchmail-friends-request@ccil.org. (Similarly, "unsubscribe" in the Subject line unsubscribes you, and "help" returns general list help). Dave Bodenstab imdave@mcs.net
