The exim "dialup crowd", you mean?
I have a client who I did a setup for, who uses a dialup connection. I
used fetchmail, but it has limitations when it comes to Envelope-
recipient(s) especially if you use a catchall. So I configured it to
have several lines of "poll blah, user X there is blah here", but it
sucks.
There is also getmail -
http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/, but I've
not used it, but it promises to be much better than fetchmail..
PS: Could you kindly write in a language someone understands without
having to google first? ;)
