Fetchmail and scalix

Postby csanburn » Mon Jan 21, 2008 10:46 am

I'm not sure if I understand what you are wanting to do but I'll try to explain what I'm doing.
I have users who currently use an ISP to handle their email. I've got them setup on Scalix 11.2 for now but until they are ready to receive mail directly to the scalix server I'm just having a cron job run every 20 minutes that uses "fetch" to pull mail from the ISP.

I use the following fetch command:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/fetchmail -p pop3 -S localhost --smtpname user1@mydomain.com -f /var/fetch/fetch-user1-pwd -u user1@mydomain.com pop3.myisp.com


And the fetch-user1-pwd file contains:

Code: Select all

poll pop3.myisp.com
proto pop3
user user1@mydomain.com
pass "user1-password"


Hopefully that is of some use.
