Here's my setup:
In /etc/crontab
---------------
# Fetchmail schedule -- added by Mike 26 Feb 98
0 8-18 * * 1-5 root /usr/local/bin/fetchmail
In ~root/.fetchmailrc
---------------------
# Configuration file for fetchmail
# Fetchmail should get mail from the pop account at connect
# and re-distribute it through the mailboxes on this computer
poll pop.connect.ie proto pop3:
user MYUSERNAME pass MYPASSWORD to * here
================
I run the CRON script as opposed to running fetchmail -dehatever
so that fetchmail only checks during office hours (this reduces the
number of calls, yet makes e-mail fairly responsive)
Hope this helps
