[fetchmail]Question about config

Hello,

I use the following form of fetchmailrc to get the mails
out of a pop3 server and plug it into my Exchange server.

my fetchmailrc:

set invisible
set syslog
set daemon 240

poll server with proto pop3
        user "myLogin" password "myPassword"
        no rewrite smtphost 192.168.1.20 smtpname mfranke@exchange

This works well, but Im not quite sure what happens, when the
exchange server is down?

Right now we use a pop3 connector software that runs on the
windows machine, but I would like to get rid of it. But, if the
windows machine is down, the pop3 software is down to.

And in my "new" config fetchmail is running on a different
server then the exchange.

My fear is, I could loose mail, which my boss really would 
not like very much. Guess why *gg*

Will my mail be safe?


Marcus, bit unsure atm
