If you please, how would I go about setting up my local mail-server
(localhost) to download non-local new email from a POP3 server (my ISP) and
then post non-local outgoing emails to the SMTP server (my ISP, again) at
night, in one big batch?
I think it's something like this:-
1) configure fetchmail to grab mail from mail.zetnet.co.uk (pop3 server)
2) forward Hugo's mail to user 'hugo' ... using procmail perhaps?
3) view the email account of user 'hugo' with a mail-reader such as XfMail
4) use sendmail to send the outgoing non-local emails in batch mode (?)
I am happy to RTFM, of course :) but I'm not sure which FMs to R.
Any advice is appreciated. A simple "read this faq" would be valuable. ;)
