I have the following in my fetchmailrc, and fetchmail is started via /usr/local/etc/rc.d. set daemon 900 poll mailserver.myisp.com with proto pop3 user email_account pass my_password is my_local_login here smtpaddress mydomain.com This means: a. get mail from my ISP mailserver with my email account and password. b. send the mail using local smtp server (qmail in my case) using the name my_local_login@mydomain.com Hope this help. --- Samuel Chow cyschow@shaw.ca This message is displayed using recycled electrons.
