Getting way off topic here... Here in the States, the typical setup is dynamic SLIP to our ISPs. Since I am generally not connected, and the IP changes every time I do, I cannot have mail delivered to my machine. When I dial-up, I can run fetchmail from my machine to get the mail from my POP mailbox on my ISP, and fetchmail than delivers each message to the SMTP port on localhost (no matter what IP address it is). This then puts everything in the correct mailbox, and even allows for .forward and .procmail files to be processed correctly. Of course, the original poster said that the problem is at work, so delivering to the STMP port is probably not an option (since that would just drop it right back in the POP-box). -- Colin
