Have you provided fetchmail with a mapping between your username at
the ISP and your username on your home machine? Try
poll mail.cyberzone.net proto POP3
user jlaporte, with password cannotcrack and fetchall, is justin here
to fetch your mail into user justin's local mailbox. Why are you
doing this as root?

Why is your address in the From: field re-written as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]? If "sbarret" is the sysadmin of cyberzone.net then
>From and Return-Path are consistent, aren't they? Do I understand it
right that you didn't create a user account for yourself? Do it, and
do all the above as user. Don't forget to configure your sendmail (or
qmail or whatever you are using) to rewrite your return address as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I think you'll be OK then.
