Users can run in daemon mode too, although that means you'll have one |

daemon running for each user. |

You can omit the passwords from fetchmailrc and include them in individual |
| 12 |
user's .netrc files,according to the man page. |

"If you do not specify a password, and fetchmail cannot extract one from |
| 15 |
your ~/.fetchmailrc file, it will look for a ~/.netrc file in your |
| 16 |
home directory before requesting one interactively; if an entry matching |
| 17 |
the mailserver is found in that file, the password will be used. |
| 18 |
Fetchmail first looks for a match on poll name; if it finds none, it |
| 19 |
checks for a match on via name." |
