[TriLUG] Another Stupid Sendmail Trick revisited

[Brian Henning]

Yeah, I thought about fetchmail, but from my understanding, fetchmail is a
per-user idea...  i.e., to create a new mailbox, I'd need to set the mailbox
up both on my server and CompanyX's, and then set up fetchmail for that
user.  Too much work overhead for my blood..  And someday, I'd set up a new
account and forget to tell Fetchmail about it, or forget to set it up on the
CompanyX server, etc..  Thanks for the suggestion, though. :-)
