[COLUG] fetchmail configuration

[David McGlone]

Hi Everyone,

I have been trying for 3 days to set up a mail server using fetchmail and 
postfix.

My problem is, so far I seem to have fetchmail working, it doesn't give me any 
errors and states that it downloaded the mail, but I have no idea where the 
mail is going where it is downloaded to (if for a fact it is downloaded)

A little about what I'm trying to do:

I am trying to set up my desktop computer to act as a server just for my 
little LAN here at the house. I have set up fetchmail to fetch my mail from 
my ISP AT&T (POP3) and then have it delivered to each user, some are on 
different computers on the LAN, but my main goal right now is to just get 
fetchmail to retrieve my mail and I guess put it in /var/mail for the user 
dmcglone.

Last but not least, sometimes I will fetchmail and look in /var/mail and it 
will claim that I have a message or 2, but when I go to read the mail it 
disappears and claims I have no messages.

Thanks,
