Might have to scrap using fetchmail. It's not getting mail in daemon mode for me. And for my wife's account it's actually getting the email over and over for her each time since she has the "keep" flag. I have the keep flag too, but for some reason I only get the email once. Anyone know of a better alternative that's relatively easy to setup?
Following is my .fetchmailrc:
set daemon 0 # Do we need to test with bounce mail if this can avoid spam? set no bouncemail set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
poll www.xxx.yyy.zzz with protocol pop3 user user1 with password abcdef is * here user user2 with password abcdef is user2 here poll eee.fff.ggg.hhh with protocol pop3 user user1 with password tomany3e is user1 here
poll someserver.com with protocol pop3 user user3 with password something is user3 here
Then I add the following in crontab to run fetchmail 14 minutes past every hour between 4am and 8pm:
14 4-20 * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc/.fetchmailrc
Caution the file .fetchmailrc expects 600 permissions!
