Title: fetchmail should be able to fetch from many pop3 boxes!
Post by: Engelmann on March 13, 2001, 05:21:54 PM

hi,
i wondered about the limited email features of e-smith?! multidrop - ok but there should also be a webinterface to configure fetchmail to get mails from different pop3 boxes and route them to a user! in many small bussines firms users have some pop3 boxes hosted by a big provider - u schould be able to fetch those mails and 4ward them to a user....

can u enable this feature?

you can do this fairly easily if you can cp and edit, but no panel exist yet

i created a blank template-custom/fetchmail/50multi-drop
then split the existing file up
you can see what i did from this example,  50multi-dropD
i did this to
* insert a 'set daemon 60' fragment between A and D
* allow for multiple pop3 mail collection

the files must be in order so i called them
50multi-drop
50multi-dropA
50multi-dropB
..
50multi-dropZ
