Thanks for everyone who replied. I'll post my replies in a single message. >If you want to prevent PPP from dialling up when a user sends mail, take a look at the PPP filter features. Namely the "set filter dial" features. man ppp for more details. I forgot to mention I have ISDN and therefore use sPPP, not user-ppp, so I don't have the user-ppp facilities. If user-ppp is manditory, though, I could arrange ISDNoPPP somehow, though I'm content with my sPPP setup for now, so I'd rather not change it if possible. >check the following: http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.23 It might have something useful. I checked it out, but what I want is to have a daemon fetch my mail with POP3, I don't have an SMTP server that delays the transfers for me. >I have this exact scenario setup at my office and it works great. Good to hear this is possible. >I am using sendmail and fetchmail to get my POP3 mail from my ISP's server. My FreeBSD server is configured as a gateway and I am using userland ppp to connect to my ISP whenever anyone attempts to access the net. Yep, that's exactly what I want. >It appears in your message that you have most of this setup already (unless I am reading it incorrectly) so I'm not quite sure where your problem is. Maybe a little more detail would help. You missed one keyword: "ideal" - this is the situation I would like to have, not what I have. Currently, I just set up Netscape to check mail, though I'd like mail delivered to my user account so I could use mutt/pine/whatever. Thanks for everyone who replied, looking forward to hearing from you all. I'm going to be away for a couple of days now, so it could take a few days for me to respond.
