Hi all,

Been plugging away at fetchmail and have hit a wall...

My fetchmail.rc file:

skip mail.mydomain.com
        proto pop3
        user "user(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com"
        pass "pass"
        keep
        fetchall

When fetchmail is started with:
fetchmail -v -f '/home/james/.fetchmailrc' mail.mydomain.com

This is covered in the man examples...

Try using:

- For single user accounts:

        user "user(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com"  password "pass" is 
"local_username" here

- For multi-drop accounts

        user "user(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com"  password "pass" to * here

Or better:

        user "user(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com"  password "pass" to
'public.address_1'='local_account_1' 'public.address_2'='local_account_2'
here

        user "user(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com"  password "pass" to account_1 
account_2
here

You can mix the destinations in the last two examples, I quoted them
separately just for clarity.
