Cc: FreeBSD-current@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Use xfmail, a little bit old proggie, but very practical and generic. Set it up to check your mail every x minutes, using the mail server as a pop3 server ( xfmail wil log in, give your password to the server, retrieve the mail, and spool it to a file usually /var/mail/your_user_account_on_your_pc which will keep the messages) Try it , neat little proggie P.S. If you use current ,download the port and rebuild it using xforms-0.88.1 libraries On 11-Oct-00 Donny Lee wrote: > > Hi there, > > My fbsd box is (ADSL) connected to the net through dynamic IPs, > so no mails are able to send in, they go to the account offered > by my ISP. i need to check mail manually a period of time. > > Is there any package that can be used to fetch mails back to > my fbsd box in every 10 or 20 min. automatically? > > -- > // Donny > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message ---------------------------------- Unix Software Developer/Engineer E-Mail: Johan Kruger Date: 11-Oct-00 Time: 08:57:16 All good things come to those who ... runs FreeBSD ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
