this is the sample command i use...if my local user name is
different from "daniel", which is the option to dump it the
a specific user?
You can add an entries like this to you .fetchmailrc:
poll pop.doe.com
user "daniel" pass "pw1" is "peter"
user "michael" pass "pw2" is "paul"
Mail for "daniel" will be delivered to "peter".
i am going to use fetchmail to automatically fetch mail from my ISP
for each of the users listed in my server. so do i need to have the
fetchmailrc file in all user's home dir and their passwords too?
No, you can use one fetchmail process to retrieve mail for multiple
users. See example above.
newbie in using fetchmail
Then I suggest you read the manual several times... ;-)
