Here's a wild guess, someone please tell me if it's a good effort, or a stupid guess :-) popclient -u <user> -p <pwd> -c mailhost | sendmail If I'm right, that would make popclient go and get all the mail from the POP account on mailhost, (using username and password supplied) and pipe all its output into sendmail. Sendmail should then re-send the messages. (This assumes that popclient will output the messages in the correct format) WILL THIS WORK, or do I need to try something different? <><=====================================================><> Michael Doyle phone: +353-1-661-0588 Network Administrator http://indigo.ie/~coopnth/ Co-Operation North E-mail: relyod@co-operation-north.ie (0ffice) relyod@indigo.ie (Personal) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
