I setup my postfix/sasl and everything is working great. I'm on a =
RedHat FC2 machine. When I installed it forced the installation of =
sendmail and fetchmail. I force rpm uninstalled sendmail...that seemed =
to have deleted the fetchmail server information within /etc/rc.d/init.d =
directory. Now I can't start the fetchmail server. I have set aside =
today to get this running. Astonishingly enough, I go out searching and =
fetchmail info on the net exclusively explains how to use fetchmail to =
get mail from a pop3 server but never how to set it up AS a POP3 server. =
Can someone help me? Fetchmail POP3 is satisfactory for me....I need =
this server up and running. I hate to have to try to setup IMAP from =
scratch at this point...maybe later.

What I am asking for is:

What are the contents of the fetchmail file within the /etc/rc.d/init.d =
directory on a REdhat9, FC1, FC2, or FC3 server?
Where on the net or can you provide me instructions, on how to setup =
fetchmail as a POP3 server?

I have fetchmail 6.2.5-2 installed by rpm by fedora core 2.

Any quick explaination would be really helpful.

Thanks,
