[rt-devel] Fetchmail processing order

[m4rco-]

Hi Thomas, thanks for the answer.

Well, I thought that it wasn't a problem of RT - honestly i wasn't
sure that this was the correct ML where to write in.

I've fetchmail configured as daemon, with 2 minutes of pool intervals.
So there is any entry in the crontab..should I use it instead of the
daemon mode?

thank you
