Re: [cobalt-developers] [Qube 3] I search for a multidrop mail program

[Simon Billis <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the qube3 preinstalled is fetchmail. You can set up one multidrop retreival from the GUI and this places a config file called multidrop:localdomain into /etc/fetchmail/

You could then manually edit the file and add in the required extra servers etc, or you could write another start-up script to launch fetchmail as a daemon with a config file of your choice. Have a look at the fetchmail man page, its very good and will provide you with all the details that you will need to get this working as you want.

Hope this helps

Simon
