So why dont you make an init script for fetchmail and put it in init.d, so that it starts when the system starts. And also in the fetchmailrc file put "daemon 300". The mail that you are getting is from crond, and not fetchmail. unless you set MAILTO in crontab to a null value(in that case you won't get reports from ANY cron jobs), you will get a mail for any output of your cron jobs. fetchmail in daemon mode doesnt send you any mail. > > > > > > In such a case i need that Pushing kind of utilty if< mail is present > > > > delivered to it's destination.^^^^^^^ > > > > Pushing from where to where? > Push from Online server to where i am fetching right now ie from online > server --to--> My local mail server. ETRN is just for that, I think. But, 1. You still would need to send the ETRN request using fetchmail(not very sure about this). 2. your local mail server should have a real IP or atleast reachable directly from the online server. A problem if you have a internal LAN IP or behind a firewall. man fetchmail for more details about ETRN. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandipb @ bigfoot.com http://www.sandipb.net ---------------------------- ================================================ To subscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subscribe in subject header To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header Archives are available at http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd%40wpaa.org =================================================
