Scalix Forums

Now that I'm up and running, I've got a question re: using fetchmail.

I've installed fetchmail and have modified my .fetchmailrc file with no issues. Shortly I will set it up in daemon mode to check at a regular interval.

My question is this... if this works on a per-user basis, to have my scalix box grab pop email for multiple users, will I need to create a single .fetchmailrc for all of these users under the root account?

If so, does this mean that the root (or whatever account I use for this group processing) needs to be logged in to the scalix box in order to get the pop email for all users?

Any advice would be welcome!

Thank you.

You don't need a .fetchmailrc file in /root/ because fetchmail allows you to specify the location of the configuration file.

I have a file /etc/fetchmailrc and a startup script that calls:

So fetchmail polls all the POP mailboxes every 2 minutes.

Hey, that makes sense... I'll give it a try.

Thank you.
