chris-tux Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 hi After reading several post on the topic, I have installed postfix+fetchmail (MK9.1). It seems like running ok for the moment: having fetchmail running as daemon (fetchmail -d 180 -f /etc/fetchmailrc from /etc/rc.d/init.d/fetchmail) so it is looking in the "global" fetchmail pref. So does-it make sense to have a ~/.fetchmailrc when running fetchmaild ? I am tempted to rm the different ~/.fetchmailrc and to add the different users in /etc/fetchmail. Is it correct ? sorry if the questions are too "simple" chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 i always just use the global /etc/fetchmailrc i think it is simpler doing it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris-tux Posted May 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 so i understand well, either you use fetchmail as daemon: this is done at login if the file /etc/fetchmailrc is present, either each user has its own ~/.fetchmailrc and run fetchmail "manually" (or cron) ? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 oh yeah i always run fetchmail as a daemon. you have too install the fetchmail-daemon rpm to get it to work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
