Is there already a FAQ to the hamster?

Christoph Biedl postet regularly its hamster mini FAQ into the appropriate groups in Usenet. Though the web page seems to have gone missing.

Why does all Mails always land with the Admin?

According to standard when fetching all Mails is sorted into the p.o. box of the Admin account. If the Mails is to be sorted into the p.o. boxes of the users, you should proceed in such a way:

1. Creation of the users [ File/Configuration/Local account/cAdd ]
2. Create a Hamsterscriptdatei [ fetchmail.hsc ] in the hamster directory. Contents:
   hamfetchmail(, " POP3 " " pop.gmx.net ", " user ", " password ", " local account ", " ")
3. Fetch the Mails with " Script/fetchmail.hsc "

Now all Mails, which is gotten by the respective Mailserver, is sorted into the p.o. box of the local account.

hamfetchmail(" pop.gmx.net ", " POP3 ", " user ", " password ", " ", " ") several of these lines into the Scriptdatei entered, in each case around user/password modified, causes the requiring.
