This works fine, but I'm wondering about the security of having my
password sitting in plaint text in my .fetchmailrc file. Are there
obvious things I could do to eliminate the need to do this? Some way to
interface fetchmail with pgp, or some such?
The best you can do is put your password in a separate .netrc file instead
of .fetchmailrc. That way you can let people see your fetchmail
configuration without seeing your password, while keeping your .netrc
better-protected.
.netrc has lines that look like:
machine machine.goes.here login xyz123 password blahblahblah
