Hi,

we have an ISP where the mails are stored in the users POP3 mailboxes. I want to get them with fetchmail. I have read the wiki howto.

If I create the fetchmail.rc file

poll myisp.de protocol POP3 user ispuser password isppass to localuser

Do I have to create a linux user called "localuser" ? Is it enough to create a new scalix user called "localuser" ? How do I tell the scalix system what mails belogn to what user ?

best regards

Stefan

Setup a user in sac and take note of the Email Address in the General section of the user information.

A good fetchmail entry looks like:

poll "mail.yourisp.com" protocol POP3 : user "username-at-your-isp" there with password "pass-for-your-isp" is "localuser@what-it-says-in-sac" here ;
