Just about all you need to do, assuming your local members have the same
username and emailname (eg username fred, email
fred@xxxxxxx) is run fetchmail when you are online.  It
then passes the mail to sendmail which distributes it.

'man fetchmail' and 'man sendmail' should have all the detail...
(_should_...)

But there are probably some hitches that I've not hit on, so if anyone has
the link, I'll be bookmarking it too!

I'll resist the temptation to include a URL to "Running Linux" or
"Linux
Unleashed" at amazon.co.uk ;-)
