Topic: Running fetchmail and standard email at the same time?

[Jeff Lynes]

I want to have fetchmail download email from several accts and at the same time have email sent directly via snmp to my e-smith box.  I only have the choice of one or the other.  I can set it up manually, but I am hoping there is a more elegant way.

Thanks

snmp or SMTP ?

I think you are refering to the SMTP host box on manager, this is for outgoing mail.
Incomming via SMTP will connect directly to you e-smith box.
(Just make sure you have the virtual domains set up for every domain you want to receive email for)


Try searching for multi-fetch. - This will allow you to fetch email from more than one pop3 account.

So having email for my domain sent to my e-smith box will still work if I
 use multi-fetch as well?  I was under the impression that the e-smith
 manager made the two options mutually exclusive.  I am aware on a generic
 linux box that you can run fetchmail and sendmail at the same time.  I am
 looking to get it to work using qmail and fetchmail on the e-smith box.  

 My setup is as follows:
 I have my domain, mycompany.com. I want email for this domain delivered
 directly via smtp to my e-smith box.  I also have some users that want to have
 fetchmail gather email from various pop3 email accounts and have it delivered to
 their mycompany.com email account.

 Has anyone done this in a e-smith friendly way?  I now I can change the crontab
 and have fetchmail run on its' own however, I want the changes I make to survive
 an e-smith upgrade.

 Thanks
 Jeff
