<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our fetchmail setup is this...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. fetchmailstart.sh script in the RT install location. This is just a 1 liner that has the fetchmail command, the fetchmailrc file we setup, the argument to tell fetchmail to start as a daemon.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. fetchmailrc file which is setup based off of the documentation in the linux man file for fetchmail</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Command to start fetchmail at system startup in the rc.local so when the server boots up, it's running.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the fetchmailrc file is not delivered with fetchmail or rt.... but as I said the man pages tell you everything you need to know. USe those, and google "fetchmailrc examples" and you should be able to build one. I have queues pulling from both imap(Groupwise and google apps education), and pop3 from an external (unknown) email server.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let me know if you want anymore info... fetchmail I believe is the easiest part of the RT install.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Monday I could send you some stuff to help ya out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
<div>Mike.<br><br></div>

with a relevant one without you providing a lot of information.<br>

shouldn't be root. As for the correct settings, I just did a search<br>for "fetchmail" on the RT wiki and found a large number of documents<br>that are relevant, including:<br><br><a href="http://rt.bestpractical.com/view/POP3Mailgate" target="_blank">http://rt.bestpractical.com/view/POP3Mailgate</a><br>
