Description Linh Pham 2004-10-20 04:00:51 UTC 
I received a message from Scott Robbins <scottro@nyc.rr.com> which he mentioned
that the unixfrom parameter is sometimes required in the getmail config file.
The mention of the parameter in the getmail documentation is buried deep inside
it and is worth mentioning in the UPDATING file since it can cause problems
for users.

Also wanted to include a link to a quick guide to getting started with getmail,
which Scott also provided.
