Um, I helped to figure out how to handle the python problem with that port, and I tested it on my system, without python installed.

Since it worked for me, it is hard to figure out what problems you are encountering. Since fetchmail is useful and popular software, I very much want the port to work correctly for everyone. Please show us exactly what problems you are having! Matt -- Matthew Hunt * Inertia is a property of matter. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.
