This way you could set it the way your ISP expects. If you use exim, install the exim-doc package and have a look at the info-files for information on how to do it. > I have set EMAIL to my email address, but my ISP will > still not accept a fetchmail command, saying "connection refused".

Check out if you use the right protocol (POP, IMAP) (I always thought fetchmail will autodetect this, but might be, that it fails for some reason). Also check out, that you give it the correct account details (either on command line or in your .fetchmailrc). Regards, Daniel
