Steve,

Think about what you're going to do when you go on vacation, or you buy 
your wife an iPhone for your anniversary.  Also, see if you can get 
fetchmail to run when she pops email, so she doesn't have to wait for 
the next cron run when she's expecting an urgent message.

One of the other replies reminded me that I think I've seen a program 
that goes in via POP3 and deletes spam/viruses, so you might be able to 
clean up the DSL provider mailbox.  I can't remember what it was called.

Regards,
