Well, there's old popclient, which I had to use for a while when fetchmail froze looking at the server. Unfortunatly, popclient isn't maintained anymore and is becoming fairly difficult to find. What problems are you having with fetchmail? Sending mail to yourself locally not working? That one has bitten many people who like to set sendmail_enable = "NO" for security reasons, but you can always set your mda to /usr/libexec/mail.local $USERNAME in your .fetchmailrc -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
