Uhh, grabbing email from a remote mailspool _is_ exactly what POP3/fetchmail is meant to do. Or is there something else here that someone is trying to do? But how does any of this relate to -CURRENT? uucp is still there for anyone who wants it in the ports. If your ISP does not support uucp and you want to use it to grab email, complain to your ISP, not -current. -- Crist J.
