-### fetchmaildistrib:
-
-This script resolves the issue where the sysadmin polls for mail with fetchmail
-only at set intervals, but where a user wishes to see his email right
-away. The duplication in /etc/fetchmailrc and ~/.fetchmailrc files is
-automated with this script; whenever /etc/fetchmailrc is changed, this
-script is run to distribute the stuff into all user's ~/.fetchmailrc
-files.

-# The central fetchmail database, /etc/fetchmail, contains all accounts that
-# are to be fetched by the root's daemon. Often, a user desires quicker
-# access (e.g., when testing some email path). In such cases, the destination
-# user (marked as is USER here in the poll lines) should set up a ~/.fetchmailrc
-# for himself. This scripts generates such lines from the central file.
