Hi Daniel,<br />
<br />
You might want to check that your clients ISP mailbox has got forwarding option. &nbsp;If not, fetchmail is your friend. &nbsp;Use fetchmail and create .fetchmailrc as:<br />
<br />
poll pop.isp.com with proto POP3<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; user &quot;pop_userid&quot; with pass &quot;pop_password&quot; &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; smtpname &quot;email@to.forward.com&quot; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; is * here<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; smtphost localhost

Hi Daniel,

You might want to check that your clients ISP mailbox has got forwarding option.  If not, fetchmail is your friend.  Use fetchmail and create .fetchmailrc as:

    user "pop_userid" with pass "pop_password"  
    smtpname "email@to.forward.com"

That sounds good. I've just run apt-get install fetchmail. Does the config file go in /etc/ ?

Hello<br />
<br />
Okay this is what I want to do. One of our clients internet service provider provides mailboxes via pop. We want to download those messages using POP on our mail gateway and relay it through to our exchange server. I have no intentions of using a POP connector for our exchange server as the server is all ready burdened enough. Any ideas? Currently running Debian as our mail gateway with Postfix and a few other filtering software such as mailscanner. Is there something I can put on there to download mail via pop send it through to Postfix via SMTP and then use relaying configs i all ready have to pass it through to our exchange server?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
