[fetchmail]Help requested with pop3 via ssh

[David Williams]

Hello

I'm trying to retrieve pop3 mail via ssh. I've tried:

poll localhost proto POP3 plugin "ssh -C root@remoteip telnet localhost 110"
    user davidjw there with password "mypassword" is davidjw here

when I run the ssh command in the shell I get a pop3 session. However 
when I run the fechmail command it simply returns to the shell prompt.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

David
