And this I assume will grab 25 at a pop and pass them off to procmail? I have
this set as the MDA at the top of that file. I have mine set for
defaults mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d gene"
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set daemon 90
Then the gmail stanza:
poll pop.gmail.com with proto pop3
user ZZZZZZZZZZ with password XXXXXXXXXXX is gene
options ssl
and no port # is spec'd. Is not the default ssl port # 995?
I'll fix it up and restart fetchmail for grins, thanks Vikram & Merry
Christmas to you and yours.
