Re: Worked fetchmail configuration form 10.09.14

I'm wondering what will happen if you have more users running fetchmail on this server. for example, you have 300 users for fetchmail. Do we have to run it with cron? 1 fetchmailrc to include 300 external accounts?

Re: Worked fetchmail configuration form 10.09.14

In my configuration. I change config in.

/etc/default/fetchmail

# Declare here if we want to start fetchmail. 'yes' or 'no'
START_DAEMON=yes

Need once to launch fetchmail. All work will be on background.
If i change /etc/fetchmailrc file, i kill and start process.

All worked on automated. i think its good )).

And yes. in my /etc/fetchmailrc 7 accounts, mail.ru gmail.com, hotmail.com, etc.
