Might as well joing the fun.
Mine is taken right from /usr/doc/fetchmail/fetchmail-up
1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 112 Feb 1 1999
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/fetchmail-up*
#!/bin/sh
test -r /etc/fetchmailrc && \
fetchmail --syslog --invisible --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc
and /etc/fetchmailrc is(edited to protect the innocent):
1 -rw------- 1 root root 436 Aug 30 22:17 /etc/fetchmailrc
# fetchmailrc
set daemon 120
set logfile = "/var/log/fetchmail"
poll <isp1.com> timeout 60:
user <isp1-name> there has password <isp1-passwd> is <local-name1> here
fetchall
poll <free-email-server> with protocol pop3 timeout 60:
user <free-email-name1> there has password <free-email-pass1> is
<local-name1> here
fetchall
poll <free-email-server> with protocol pop3 timeout 60:
user <free-email-name2> here has password <free-email-pass2> is
<local-name2> here
fetchall
postconnect "exim -q"
This is all run as root and does not need to do a sudo or su or
anything. Fetchmail passes it off to exim to deliver to the
appropriate local users.
