At the /var/log/ppp.log I get: ppp[56]: tun0: Command: papchap: ! sh /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -v -f /root/.fetchmailrc >> /tmp/FETCHMAIL.LOG But no mail is retrieved (yup, I sent myself dozens of emails to test it) and even no output is directed to my test file. Does fetchmail needs any special parameter to be run at ppp.linkup? thanks Paulo Roberto __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
