Mail

[Mike DePalatis]

Is it possible to use a pop3 mail server, and have some kind of daemon that will put download messages into /var/spool/mail (or whatever it is) so that I can access my mail thru that?

Sendmail and qmail should ba able to do that for you.
that will put download messages
Not sure what you mean by that, but SMTP (sendmail, qmail) will receive any mail sent to you email server and place them where you configured the mail to sit. POP3 (qpopper, cucipop) allows you to do nothing more then login and download the mail in you favorite mail client

You can configure your SMTP server to place the email anywhere you like.

Okay, I apologize for how crappily (is that a word? :)) I phrased that question.

To rephrase, basically I want a daemon that will login to a remote pop3 site, and from it, it will download any new messages into my /var/spool/mail/<USER> directory. I'll check out those two that you mentioned.
