Been trying to setup sendmail and fetchmail to work for a day or two now. I have it working, but not flawlessly.
All I'm wanting is this to be a client machine. No smtp server etc, so it would do this directly I believe. I'm kind of doing this just to do it, too.
So I can use fetchmail, and even sendmail. But when I fetchmail, the person who sent me the email gets an email sent to them saying there was an error. This is what it looks like (had one of them send it back to me using my hotmail account.)
Code:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="Boundary_(ID_Sq70pzYX4JJKxrs49mVWAw)"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Begin forwarded message:
From: FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@floods[box].mshome.net
Date: Tue Jul 27, 2004 3:47:15 AM Pacific/Honolulu
To: uncle_saturn@myrealbox.com
Some addresses were rejected by the MDA fetchmail forwards to.
Reporting-MTA: dns; localhost
Final-Recipient: rfc822; fragile@localhost

Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1
Diagnostic-Code: 550 5.1.1 <fragile@localhost>... User unknown
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; x-unix-mode=0666; name=mime-attachment
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=mime-attachment
I'm not sure what that attachment is, though, since hotmail just won't let me download it for some reason.
It looks like it's looking for a user named fragile, but I directly told fetchmail fragile is floods, so here is also my fetchmailrc
Code:
floods@floods[box]:~$ cat .fetchmailrc
# Configuration created Sun Jul 25 23:45:35 2004 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "floods"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 15
poll pop3.direcway.com with proto POP3
user 'fragile' there with password 'PASSWORD' is 'floods' here options fetchall
user 'generationjoey' there with password 'PASSWORD' is 'floods' here options fetchall
So, why are they being given this email? This sendmail stuff is pretty confusing so far.
