[fetchmail]Brain breaking problem - Long - Conceptual

Hi all,

Let me please apologize.. I don't know how to search for a reply to my question, I've thought about it and thought about it, then I found the fetchmail documentation, I got frustrated, I could not find what I was looking for, I think fetchmail is what I'm looking for but I'm not sure, I think it could do what I want but I'm not sure.. Then my wife, who was looking over my shoulder said, why don't you see if fetchmail has a mailing list, someone there may help you.

So..I found a mailing list but , I've not searched any list archives, I have no idea what I could search for..

I'd like to spell out my problem and HOPEFULLY one of you may be able to point me to an answer...

I have a family domain registered with Namezero. rocteur.com
With Namezero you cannot download individual addresses, you either forward them or download the lot
I have a Linux (SuSE 7.0) box connected to the Internet via Cable modem
I'd like to run a program that connects to my Namezero account, then see who the mail is sent to and forwards the email to the user account on Unix My family can then use my Linux machine as a pop server and download their emails to their workstations

Here is how it hangs together, my domain name is rocteur.com. With namezero, if you don't forward emails to another email address all non forwarded mails are kept on Namezero's pop server in rocteur.com's account.

I connect to Namezero using rocteur.com's account and password, all emails to *(_at_)rocteur(_dot_)com are downloaded to my system.

I would like a program to run as an annonymous user, connect to Namezero with rocteur.com's email account, as each mail is downloaded, it see's who at rocteur.com it is addressed to and forwards it via sendmail to the relevant UNIX account.. Then using Eudora or another email client, my family can connect to my Unix machine and download their mails..

That's it, if fetchmail is the answer please give me a hint for the setup.. If not do you have an idea.

Thanks in advance,

Jerry
