My current setting is that fetchmail gets the mails every 5min from the servers and gives them to exim, who drops them wherever they are supposed to be dropped. Gnus gets them from those files like if they were in /var/spool/mail. But I suddenly start to wonder ... There is no smarter way to do that ? Like for instance fetchmail keeping a live connection to the server and getting a notice when new mail arrives ? I have the feeling it has to be possible ... Cheers, -- François Fleuret
