Hi

I have the following .fetchmailrc:

  poll MYSERVER
    via localhost port 1234
    protocol pop3
    user XXXX
    pass "YYYY"
    is bader
    preconnect "ssh -i ~/.ssh/identity -x -f -L 1234:MYSERVER:110 MYSERVER =
sleep 20 < /dev/null > /dev/null"

When I run "fetchmail -va", fetchmail does not connect to
localhost:1234, instead it connects to localhost:110.  But I
don't have a user thomasb on localhost.

I'd like fetchmail to connect to localhost:1234, so the
entire connection to MYSERVER would tunneled and encrypted
using ssh.  Any Ideas?

I'm using fetchmail 5.2.3 (the one, which is shipped with
FreeBSD-4.0-CURRENT).

Thomas
