[plug] Fetchmail Config

[Shannon Carver]

I'm a little unsure of the exact specifics of your install (nor do I know
what OTRS is), but my Gentoo install takes both /etc/fetchmailrc and
~/.fetchmailrc as config file locations.

The syntax for using it is very easy, and I haven't had issue connecting to
SSL based servers in the past.  I don't think you should see an issue with
it halting when asked to accept a certificate.

I assume you're building the script from scratch each time a new user is
added?

Hi Guys,

I'm at a bit of a loss to how Fetchmail works with configuration
(Probably just not reading the man pages and internet properly!)

What I have is the following:
An OTRS install that uses fetchmail to retrieve IMAPS e-mail from a
server in Germany and pipe it into OTRS for processing.

I can't seem to work out where I should be storing the .fetchmailrc
files and how to run a cron job on it ever 3 to 5 minutes.

The server in Germany also has an SSL certificate that is signed
internally (thereofre browsers and mail clients always throw up a
screen asking to accept the certificate).  Withh fetchmail stop at
this point, or is there a way that I can force accept it?

Cheers Guys
~Chris
