hi everyone,

- i don't see any options for command-line or .fetchmailrc to support
ssl/tls when submitting mail to smtp-servers. that means there is none,
but it's on the list since ever and soon to be implemented, right?

'fetchmail' is what the name say: It fetchs mail FROM an ISP's Server

What you need is a MTA (Mail-Transport-Agent) like
"exim4", "postfix", "courier-mta" or very light "ssmtp"

- now, there's this guy who hosts some domains and mailboxes for friends
and wants them to be able to gather all their email to one centralized
imap-server. for laziness in checking mail from more than one account...
however this guy doesn't want 20 fetchmail-daemons running 24/7 for every
user. if i see this correctly, best way would be telling users to
smtp-forward - but wouldn't it be nice if fetchmail could go in
multi-user-mode, reading /home/*/.fetchmailrc and take it all in just one
daemon-process?

I have writen a SCRIPT which call all $USER fetchmailrc's
one after one. So I get never problems with resources, becaus the
$USER using procmail and filter with spamassasssin AND f-prot

The Script catch all 10 minutes the Messages from 176 E-Mail Accounts

- i'm sure you all know this... fetchmail rocks. thanks to eric and
whoever does all the other coding, great job!

:-)

greetings,
