Important Note
Please note that these manual installation instructions should only be used on Ubuntu distributions, such as Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 server, the distribution the document was written for. If you install Scalix on un unsupported platform, this invalidates your ability to receive Scalix support. The same counts for the usage of third party tools like fetchmail. Thank you for your understanding and compliance.

Installing and configuring fetchmail on Ubuntu 7.10 Server (Gutsy Gibbon)
As Ubuntu 7.10 is an unsupported platform there is currently no manual describing the installation of fetchmail (a tool that can be used to retrieve and forward email) to be used in combination with Scalix. As I managed to get Scalix it up and running and I already documented and shared this with the community (here), I thought it would be useful to share my experiences regarding the fetchmail configuration as well.
So below you'll find a how-to that describes the installation and configuration fetchmail to be used with Scalix on a Ubuntu 7.10 server.
I used several sources of information on the web. I listed the ones I can remember at the end of the document under Sources.
