RE: Fetchmail is available on Cygwin


Corinna,

I've compiled sendmail in the past. It wasn't easy and after I
compiled it, I didn't know what to do with it :-) I have no
experience using sendmail and it's not the most user-friendly
program. I think Dr. Volker Zell has also done this and would
have far more expertise in this area.
