Problems with fetchmail
Hi.
I'm having problems with fetchmail on my Debian box. Fetchmail ver '6.2.5+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS' The problem is: When I do fetchmail -k... I got error like: Code:
fetchmail: reading message rax2000@mail.hot.ee:53 of 55 (13138 octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 553 5.1.2 <KPFPVIGZ@yahoo.com>... Unrecognized host name yahoo.com How is it possible to fix that? Here is my fetchmailrc too: Code:
defaults So if someone could help me, I would appreciate it. Big thanks. :) |
Because fetchmail is reporting an SMTP based error, I think this is whats happening: You are fetching an e-mail that was addressed to, lets say, leet2005@yahoo.com. Fetchmail, by default, will hand this e-mail off to the local MTA running on this box. The local MTA (like sendmail) is properly rejecting this e-mail bacause it does not yet undestand (though aliases or virtuals) that its responsilbe for e-mails addressed to yahoo.com.
So if I'm correct, then one of the following two options should fix your problem. 1) Configure fetchmail to NOT handoff each e-mail to the MTA (like sendmail) on your box. i.e. --mda option. 2) Configure your MTA by either adding an alias or vitual user pointing to the proper mailbox (root in your case) for each account you are pulling. |
