Greetings I have set up fetchmail to retrieve my emails from an external server and deliver them to my small home network. I have a broadband connection and have set fetchmail up in an hourly cron job. It works wonderfully well. However, fetchmail sends an email to my internal user each time it is run. I cannot find any reference to this in the manual pages and my internal mailbox is rapidly filling up! Does anyone know of a way to turn this off? I would be quite satisfied with it only putting an entry in the syslog (which it is doing) and not sending the emails. Any help is greatly appreciated. Greg Gailer g_gailer@yahoo.com.au
