Hello,
I am trying to setup Intranet mail server. I have successfully implemented Postfix mail server with SMTP AUTH. Now I want to setup local pop server so that user can download mail locally. I have two pop server say pop.abc.net and pop.pcq.net with two users with diffecrt user name and password. Fectchmail can be used to download mail from remote mail server. Now how to configure fetchmail to forward mails to local mail server. I know fecthmail can be run daemon mode. How to run fectchmail at startup time. If I set poll time for fetchmal for ten seconds and during that if that client, try to access mail what will happen?
Thank you

poll "server" protocol POP3 : user "username" there with password "mypass" is "amish" here ;
Put that line in /etc/fetchmailrc.
Komal, this could again be solved by looking at "man fetchmail" or any linux administration book in the market (did I miss google). If you could find Samba is required to authenticate against windows, why cant you try a configuration, if you can configure SMTP AUTH (I dont think this is simple task) why couldnt you configure a simple fetchmail? You are dealing with production systems with half knowledge. Misconfigurations to these harm linux and us. Take care. If you read replies to your own posts reply to this mail.
