Fetchmail Help

[struggled_newbie]

Hello there Unix & Linux Guru's and Gifted ones,

Can anyone help me configure fetchmail on my redhat 9.0

This sounds to be silly but really I'm new to linux.
I really need step by step installation and configuration on our company's required Redhat 9.0 (shrike) OS.

Thank you and God Bless.

First off I would say upgrade to a new version. I don't think that security updates/patches are being maintain for this version of RH.

Have you checked RH site or Google? There are links out there to the older versions of RH and how to configure them.

Hello, really thanks for your interest on my problem.

can you give me one site that is useful on my needs or any suggestions for upgrade of my unit

here is a sample of my problem. (again, excuse me for being in accurate, just a newbie, thanks)

We have a Solaris 9 server which has a qmail apache that has the mails and registries of mail users. As I have believed this is our mail server capable of sendmail service, then we have 8 branches server that has a redhat linux 9(shrike) installed that has a fetchmail and samba services.

One of that server crashed and I am assigned to replace it. I reviewed some fetchmail configs of other branch that has something like this:

# cat /root/.fetchmailrc (command)

~ user lomeng with pass 1234 is lomeng here
~ user lumeng with pass 5678 is lumeng here.

You can look here for Redhat's Fetchmail configuration for 8.0

You could replace Redhat with CentOS. This is Redhat without the taxes. Built fro Redhat's SRPMS
