OK i know this isn't specifically a Slackware issue but, slack is my poison of choice, so here is where i thought i'd start.

so to the question:

i have multiple pop3 mail accounts courtesy of my isp, what i would like to do (if possible) is have my slack machine connect to my isp and login to each pop3 account and download the mail, then on my local network i would like to connect to the slack machine and collect my e-mail using whichever pop3 mail reader i like. so is this possible? and if yes how? what software do i need? and do you have examples of config's?

any help would be very much appreciated.

I believe that fetchmail might be what you're looking for, I think it's on the CDs.

Kovacs, it looks like you hit the nail right on the head, now all i gotta do is get sendmail or something similar setup correctly and have fetchmail do the donkey work!.


many thanks

Postfix is way easier to configure than sendmail, qmail is also really good, and fast too.
