[openbenno-users] Benno and fetchmail

[Olaf Albrecht]

Hallo Herr Wiermer,

vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Was mir allerdings nicht klar ist, das ist 
die Konfiguration/Einrichtung von beispielsweise benno-maildir. Was muss 
ich wo eintragen, wenn beispielsweise das Maildir unter 
/var/mail/sicherung liegt? Und wie bestimme ich, in welchen 
Zeitabständen Benno dort nachsieht und indiziert?

Vielen Dank im voraus.
