I am setting up a pop server mailing list and the whole bit. I would like
Linux to check my normal Rogers ISP get my mail and forward it to my local
address. I've found a couple of tools to do this in Debian, but they are so
complicated, have so much function, that I can't get it to work properly.
Is there something simple that will get mail from one mailbox, and send it
to another? In Windows, my mail server does all that, but it is a huge pig
as well. I need something that I can schedule every 10 minutes and have it
get all our mail and forward it to our local addresses.

Hi. I'm not sure exactly what you want, but it sounds like fetchmail will
do the job. If you use Debian, you can have a system wide fetchmail
that poles your ISP's pop3 server for all your local accounts at a
fixed interval.

Try fetchmail, it will do everything that you want. If you need help
with setting it up, just yell.

Hi Rejean,
Have you looked at fetchmail? It sounds like it does what you are looking for as far as retrieving your mail at regular intervals from the isp.

Hi,
On the subject of mail forwarding can a system wide fetchmail poll an
isp pop server then pass that traffic through a local smtpd server,
postfix in my case? I've got a postfix setup that does antispam and
antivirus blocking, but fetchmail isn't sending it's stuff through it.
Thanks.
Dave.

By default fetchmail sends mail it has fetched to localhost port 25
which means postfix should complete the delivery. If you have a mda line
in your fetchmailrc telling it to go directly to procmail this should be
the only way to get around delivery through postfix.
