Back to the topic:
I'm not sure what exactly you want to do....
Fetchmail is for fetching mail from server A (pop3, imap) and delivering
it to server B.
I assume you are on (or near) server B.
Of course that assumes that you have the username and password (or some
other way of authentication) for the mail account on server A.
Server B usually does not need authentication to deliver email TO some user.
If I assume that you want fetchmail to get the mails from server B for
ALL your local users (stored in mysql some way or another), I regret to
tell you that there is no configuration option known to me to do so. ( I
would further assume, that the password is stored as MD5 or SHA1 hash in
your database, whereas fetchmail obviuosly needs a plaintext password -
what password is it supposed to use? ).
Maybe you can describe a little better what you want to do?
Cheers,
Tobias

Hi everyone... Im new in the list so Helo!
I was searching for some pop3 (imap?) fetcher and found by
recommendation fetchmail the problem is that after reading inthe site
what it is capable to do I didnt found anything about interaction with
mysql.
Im using Postfix+PopBeforeSMTP and wanted to use Fetchmail as my POP3
fetcher... but Im using mysql to take care of the accounts and putting
the files in /var/server/postifx/.../.../...
So the questions is: FetchMail supports MySQL? Where I found some how-to?
Thanks in advance
[ ]'s
Fetchmail delivers to postfix, so it does not need to know anything
about where postfix get's its users from.
If you can send email to your postfix users, fetchmail will be able to
do so as well.
Fetchmail will not ever directly modify any of your mail servers files -
that is always a task for your MDA (postfix in your case)
Hth,
Tobias
