'tdfetchmail' is a wraper script which looks into each $USER
~/.tdfetchmail/ directory and if it finds a fetchmailrc it
execut it.

So you see in the output, when the cronjob was startet and then
when each $USER was fetched and on which fetchmailrc it was working
on. The last line was the errorstatus of fetchmail.

This all is done by the tdfetchmail wraper script.

Please not, that it works perfectly on a FileServer where $USER have
only access to ther $HOME and no shell for executing fetchmail manaly.

Oh yes, 'tdfetchmail' fetchs messages one after one and your system
will never overloaded by virusscanners, spamassassin or RBL lookups.

So if you want, you can write the output to individualy logfiles, e.g.,
all 15 minutes one and send it with:

  __( 'send_logfile' )______________________________________

| #!/bin/bash

| echo "Date: `date -R`"                       >>$TMPFILE
| echo "Subject: fetchmail log"                >>$TMPFILE
| echo ""                                      >>$TMPFILE
| cat $LOGFILE                                 >>$TMPFILE

| cat $TMPFILE |ssmtp -t
|=20
| rm $TMPFILE

I think, this is what you need...
