fetchmail / spamassassin help?
hi folks, can you help me with my mail woes? here is what i want to do, i want to have fetchmail (or something) pick up my mail from my pop3 servers and somehow pipe them through spamassassin, and finally view them in kmail. here are the mail packages i have available. i know i probably don't need them all:
sendmail 8.12 procmail 3.22 postfix 2.0.15 fetchmail 6.2 spamassassin 2.55 at the moment i am working on fetchmail. i don't know if this is where i need to start or not. here is my .fetchmailrx file: set daemon 180 poll mail.misternaughty.com with proto POP3 user 'user' there with password 'pass' is 'kiteless' here here is where i am running into a problem. i can run a fetchmail -vc and it shows it is connecting to my mail server, logging in correctly, and seeing there is mail waiting. now if i just run a fetchmail -va, it does nothitng. no feedback or anything. it just runs as a process, and no matter how long i let it run, it doesn't pick up the mail. i am totally confused. i am not sure what i need to do here. is there an alias i need to setup somewhere? do i need to set up local mail somehow? any help would be appreciate, i have no clue what i am doing (well thats not true but i am lost). i would be willing to try and get postfix working, or whatever you think is the best course of action. thanks in advance. |
I think I got this config from Suresh Ramasubramanian's email guide back in '99, but I'm not sure.
I use fetchmail by commanding: fetchmail -d 300 My .fetchmailrc file for a sample Code:
set postmaster "fancy" E-mail will be delivered to the file /var/spool/mail/<user>, so set your e-mail client to use local delivery or to use the directory that procmail filters it to. # Common e-mail tools sendmail - postfix - sends mail to local users (and internet when configured correctly) fetchmail - gets mail from internet accounts (non-Hotmail type) procmail - sorts and delivers into separate mailboxes mutt - mail client that sucks less than all the others Email the Linux Way Suresh Ramasubramanian's email guide The Linux Mail User HOWTO The Linux Electronic Mail Administrator HOWTO SquirrelMail web mail Why use Hotmail when there is LinuxMail?
