I'll add my +1 to this comment, and throw in a "why POP3?" question. Who is your provider, gmail? POP3 should have died out a decade ago. The replacement is IMAP, and lo and behold, Getmail as well as every other MUA/MUU supports it fully. It's hard to imagine a significant mail service which has POP3 but not IMAP service. Another thing worth mention: Postfix != MSexchange. The latter is a suite of software which implements (misimplements in many cases, it seems, although to be fair I think that is more commonly a case of administrator incompetence) other protocols to present the user with a complete mail server solution. Postfix is a MTA (mail transfer agent.) The MTA is just one of many parts a complete mail server would require. And perhaps you (the OP, I mean) should discuss your ultimate goal here. From what this and your other thread showed us, I am doubtful that you want or need a MTA at all. > http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/ > > > > config like i.e this > > > [retriever] > type = SimplePOP3Retriever P.S.: Getmail also supports TLS/SSL. :) -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
