Title: How to pull mail from ISP
Post by: Mike Sensney on March 10, 2002, 08:53:33 AM

I would like to be able to pull mail from an account at an ISP using pop3 and place it into an account on my SME server. Is this possible?

isp-user@isp.com --> sme-user@sme-server.com

There are a number of fetchmail alternatives around. This option from Stephen Noble is available from the Contributed HowTo's section.

This is unfortunately not much help. The links on this page are broken.

On the good side I do have fetchmail working sort of.
    fetchmail -u isp-user -d 600 isp.com
But this fetches the mail to the root account. Well, it will have to do until I get more time to fiddle with it.

The fetchmail rpm's that Stephen talks about can now be found at
http://e-smith.dyndns.org/

You just need the fetchmail ones (note: it installs a Manager Panel to administer).
