fetchmailconf-6.2.3-28.rpm is a tk presentation gui to configure
fetchmail. There is mine edited that you can use as an example:
~/.fetchmailrc
# Configuration created Sun Dec 28 14:56:16 2001
set logfile "/home/pat/.procmail/fetchmail.log"
set postmaster "pat"
set bouncemail
set spambounce
set properties "v"
set daemon 150
poll pop-server.indy.rr.com with proto POP3 timeout 60
user 'patrick' there with password 'password' is 'pat' here options
fetchall stripcr
mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
antispam 571 550 501 554
user 'jerri' there with password 'passwd2' is 'pat' here options fetchall
stripcr
mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
antispam 571 550 501 554
The 'antispam ...' is not necessary and your mda 'xxx' may be different,
I like to see all the mail in the logs.
Set your's up similarly and make sure to log the output. If you have
problems, post back. There are *many* fetchmail users here who will give
a hand.
gud luk,
