I used to use fetchmail as my mail-fetcher on an old machine to do this. I am trying to do the same from another machine that runs Redhat 9 (Linux 2.4.20-8) and seems like I cannot decipher how exactly to do this (perusing the fetchmail man page had me really confused). My .fetchmailrc looks like this: --------- set syslog set daemon 10 poll newdoc.dartmouth.org and options no dns keep user 'karthikv' there is 'karthik' here options --------- $ fetchmail fetchmail:/home/karthik/.fetchmailrc:6: parse error at user How can I fix this? (BTW, I had a whole load of dependency issues on trying to install fetchmailconf...)
