Solving the Fetchmail Problem - Sort Of

Way back in August, I posted about trying to get Fetchmail to start a boot time. I fixed my email problems another way.

With my email on the local server, I couldn't access it from the road without seting up a web server and opening up my system to the world. Instead, I setup all of our email accounts to forward to my domain provider's IMAP server. Now, I just fire up Thunderbird at home, or the provided web email client from everywhere else, and I have mail. They back it up, they handle 24x7 access, it's a great deal.

Now, the server is only providing file services and NTP.
