Hi All,
I have a fedora router to route LAN into the internet to pick up
emails and such. Is there a solution which I can make use of fetchmail
to check on mailboxes from the internet server, store them in the
router and wait for users to pick up the mails?
regards
Sorry, can you clarify that first statement about your router?
It's a Fedora box, that does NAT/Firewall? At this point in time it has
NO mail server?
Assuming the answer is, no mail server, I would install a mailserver
(like Cyrus) and setup IMAP on the box. Then have that box do a
fetchmail and POP the mail off to itself.
Next, configure your users PCs mail clients to talk to this IMAP machine....
or you could have the users pop the mail off that box and onto their
local machines, but that seems kind of pointless. If they're going to
POP, they may as well go straight to the source.
My 2c.
