Hi, Thanks for your speedy responses, pointers to the proper section of the manpage, and sample .fetchmailrc files. After going back and reading the _whole_ f***ing manual, (okay, I admit that I skimmed some of it) I edited my file, and am now downloading mail without the bother of entering my mail password each time.
I understand that it's somewhat risky to have your password in a file, but if you set permissions u=rw,g=,o= would the file be relatively secure? What other security concerns (besides file permissions) are involved in having your password in .fetchmailrc? Thanks again for the near lightning-speed responses. --David > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, May 29, 1999 9:46 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: .fetchmailrc > > Here's what my .fetchmailrc looks like: > <snip></snip> > > This works very well, but you can see why there's a certain risk > involved ....... > > Jim
