We have our company mail arriving on a Linux Box in another city that is using QMAIL. Our local users are using win 95 and various clients netscape/outlook express/outlook/(eudora?) and dial-up ppp connections to the internet to retrieve their email. For various reasons users are losing/not getting their mail reliably. We are having to ask our clients/vendors to resend their mail multiple times (5 times recently). This is truly embarrasing and I want to find a way to resolve this problem. I am assuming that QMAIL is working reliably as I dont have any problem getting my mail from this server. I am thinking about putting FreeBSD on an old 486 and dialing the internet every half hour to poll for mail. I was going to use fetchmail with the keep option so we get a copy on the FreeBSD box and I can then look there for mail that is missing. Is there a better way to accomplish the goal of safekeeping/copying mail? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
