Here is my scenario: I use two different POP mail drops, popsrv.cs.cornell.edu for personal mail and postoffice.mail.cornell.edu for mailing lists. I do this so that I can have a biff running on popsrv and not be bothered by all of the list messages. Now, what I would like to do is have (nnml "") get its new mail from popsrv and (nnml "lists") get its new mail from postoffice. This way I can dial in and download my personal messages without downloading the list message. I tried creating two such servers and adding `mail-sources' with the appropriate values to the server parameters of each, and setting the global value of `mail-sources' to nil . It didn't work. Neither server got any new mail. It appears that the global value of `mail-sources' was taking effect, and the server parameters weren't. Is it possible to make this work? Is there a simpler way to get the same result?
