Thanks for the info,

I tried your suggestion and it reports an error with .fetchmailrc:

My .fetchmailrc config file:

   $ cat ~/.fetchmailrc
   poll somedomain.com protocol pop3 keep:
   envelope Received
   user joeschmo is jschmo here

My /etc/aliases entry (yes I did run newaliases):

   $ grep joeschmo /etc/aliases
   jschmo:    jschmo@palm.net

When I run fetchmail, I get the following output:

   $ fetchmail
   fetchmail:/home/chris/.fetchmailrc:2: server option after user options at
Received
   fetchmail:/home/chris/.fetchmailrc:3: parse error at user

How now?
