Log rotation I thought was part of the install. But I've not used that 
canned script in years, because I long ago edited it, to rotate the logs 
in $user/logs, doing away forever with perms problems if it was logging 
to /var/log/fetchmail.log. Logrotate doing its thing in /var/log, always 
restoring root perms is a pita, but here I'm the only user, why can't I 
put a tail on it? logging to /home/me/log puts a stop to all that 
baloney.
