Hi Mick,
I do something very similar on RH7.1
Found a great dummy doit:
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue42/stumpel.html

Solution uses exim, fetchmail, qpopper.
I needed just a few changes to match my circumstances.
I'm not running fetchmail as a daemon but as a cron task every 5 mins.

Cheers,
Kerry.
