This is what I use in my .fetchmailrc file. Just swap your real
account names & password, etc, and you may be OK.


poll isp.domain with protocol pop3
    user goble, with password goble-pass, is degoble here
poll isp.domain with protocol pop3
    user erc, with password erc-pass, is begoble here


This will try and talk SMTP to a server such as sendmail running
on your local box (the one running fetchmail). If the local SMTP
server is running on a different local box, add this line at the
end of each 'poll' section above:


    smtphost local.smtp.server


This is also usefull if your SMTP server is only listening on
a specific IP address on your machine. DON'T put an IP address
here, as fetchmail uses this while talking to the SMTP server
and sends the email to, say, degoble@local.smtp.server
