Fetchmail
I have installed fetchmail on my Gentoo system, I had used sendmail before, but as part of a merger, we have another server to handle our smtp needs. I have set this machine in a DMZ temorarly to make sure it works, but im getting the following error, I can't seem to make much sense of it.
Code:
fetchmail -v -f '/home/kevin/.fetchmailrc' mail.comcast.net .. |

fetchmail is getting the mail and in handing it off to the local MTA listening on port 25 it is finding nothing........ no mail server listening. don't think it's posssible to use fetchmail without a local mail server running |
ok, my mistake, i thought it was for simple retrevial alone, ill fire sendmail back up. thanks for the response

@Qub333 I had similar problem as your, and I solved it adding this to .fetchmailrc (I may be mistaken as I'm at univeristy, I'll check when I get home and correct if necessary). After you have the "password is user <user> add "with mda procmail" (I use procmail, but you can use another program that do the same thing). What procmail do is sort mail according to rules you put in a config file (.procmailrc). I know there are some other programs that do the same (sorry, I don't remember the names). Try this out, it worked for me. |
If anyone was following this or having similar problems, I forgot to post my results, but basicaly, pass it to procmail, with a local .~/.procmailrc its all good.
