    forward mail to gmail with fetchmail

    think I said mail enough times?

    anywho, anyone know a good way to grab mail from a pop account and send it to, for instance, a gmail account?

    right now I have:
    fetchmail -S smtp.foo.com --smtpname=foo@gmail.com -u grimey mail.bar.com

    this is supposed to grab the mail for grimey@bar.com and send it to foo@gmail.com, using smtp.foo.com as the smtp server. I've gotten it to successfully log in, check the messages, do something to them, then delete them. I really wish I knew what that something was, cuz the messages aren't showing up in the gmail account....
