"If you do not specify a password, and fetchmail cannot extract one from your ~/.fetchmailrc file, it will look for a ~/.netrc file in your home directory before requesting one interactively; if an entry matching the mailserver is found in that file, the password will be used. Fetchmail first looks for a match on poll name; if it finds none, it checks for a match on via name." --=20 Neil Bothwick Unsupported service (adj): Broken (see Demon) --Sig_//2wc88jOq0ninusPfZucscz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkq4ziYACgkQum4al0N1GQOqhACgsfkco14I6m2XLmsMDJUlmO1p lDMAnjMQGiH97lTYpDOZFekKLbGF+Wy3 =J4I4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_//2wc88jOq0ninusPfZucscz--
