Create a fetchmail config file for this, named /etc/bsmith.fetchmailrc and
make it readable only by root. It should contain a line like this:
poll mail.domain.com proto POP3 fetchall nokeep \
username john password doe
Then, as root, call fetchmail like this:
fetchmail -f /etc/bsmith.fetchmailrc -S mail.server.com \
--smtpname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
All these options are described the the fetchmail man page.
You cannot specify the remote SMTP server or recipient address from within
the fetchmailrc file. You have to do it on the command line. So you have to
call fetchmail once for each user whose mail you want to retrieve. A script
like this would do that:
#!/bin/sh
cd /etc
for fetchfile in `ls *.fetchmailrc`; do
mailuser=`basename $fetchfile .fetchmailrc`
fetchmail -f /etc/$mailuser.fetchmailrc -S mail.server.com \
--smtpname $[EMAIL PROTECTED]
done
