I actually had the correct thought in my head and typed the wrong word, meaning the write postfix rather than smtp. Although having used getmail for many years, I hadn't realized that fetchmail does use smtp to deliver, so I stand corrected both in fact and intention. Getmail can reinject through smtp if necessary too, so even the intention was incorrect. I blame it on the lack of caffeine, which I shall now rectify. :) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
