It's working, I ... think

I set up fetchmail, procmail and sendmail in such a way as to retrieve all mail from a given folder and then forward it on to Gmail. It seems to work, although I'm not 100% sure whether all of the emails are making it through or not. I think the Aberystwyth SMTP server limits the amount you can send in any given space of time because they seem to be arriving at the GMail side quite sporadically. Ah well, I'd rather most make it than none of them. Even 50% is better than nothing.

I'm impressed at GMail's thread handling actually, even with all of these forwarded emails it's still managing to get the threads right. Bravo, Gmail!

Anyway this is probably a good time to say that I now consider my @aber.ac.uk address as closed, I've updated my contacts page accordingly. If you normally email me @aber.ac.uk, then please update your address book. I don't plan on getting rid of my Gmail account, so you shouldn't need to update my details again.
