Re: Pine, mailservers and the like

fetchmail will do the pop3 downloading bit, sendmail the smtp uploading
bit. I've done a bit of a howto on this, check the mail page on the
Sheflug site - www.sheflug.co.uk/mail.html I think...

You can set up fetchmail to multi-drop, in which case use "fetchmailconf"
under X and use the advanced config options, alternatively procmail is
designed to handle multi-drop (i.e. what you're wanting) mail.
