Maybe I'm just real >thick, but the man page doesn't seem very helpful. One of the things about using unix is that some man pages have a whole lot of information but are hard to understand at first. There is fetchmailconf ( I think it comes with fetchmail ) to help configuring that. For most pop stuff all you need is this. poll mail.yourisp.com with proto POP3: user <username> there has password <password> is <local_username> here To send that directly to procmail you can add another line that says and wants mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" But this may be undesirable because if there's a problem with your filters the mail goes off into never-never land. It's much safer to send it to an MTA (I'd recommend exim cause it kicks ass) In which case you can use exim's filters which are a little easier to read and write. -- Ben Lutgens Sistina Software Inc.
