Does anyone have experience downloading email from the demon POP3
mailserver?

When I do it, using fetchmail, its does download email; however 
unfortunately sendmail is running as well and some of the messages get
downloaded by SMTP -- Demon recognises this and sends an email telling
me.

I've tried not running sendmail, but this is no good because it causes
fetchmail to stop working too (fetchmail tries to deliver its mail to 
sendmail). There's nothing in the Demon section of the fetchmail FAQ,
either.

I'm running SuSE6.0, if that's any help.
