Running winxp home with cygwin fetchmail release 6.2.5+NTLM+SSL+NLS Just now setting up fetchmail/procmail after a previous unsuccessfull attempt some mnths ago. I posted here on the earlier attempt and received helpfull replies that are now somewhat dated I suppose. (7/11/2005)
In that response it was suggested to use a line like: mda "/usr/bin/*procmail* -f %F -d %T" To pass mail to procmail. Last time around my circumstances changed at about the time I was working on this and I was able to return to my home linux setup where I better understand how to set up these tools. Now I'm back in a situation requiring me to work with winxp so back in the soup. Cutting to the chase: Using the `mda' line posted above I get a syntax error: Harry > fetchmail -v -c fetchmail:/cygdrive/c/users/harry/.fetchmailrc:4: syntax error at MDA cat .fetchmailrc (with protected passwd etc) ---- set logfile /cygdrive/c/harry/t/var/log/fetchmail.log ## Set procmail as mail delivery agent # MDA /usr/bin/procmail -d %T mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T" ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] poll pop.newsguy.com proto POP3 user xxxxx password xxxxx ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] poll pop.newsguy.com proto POP3 user xxxxx password xxxxx ## poll pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com proto POP3 user [EMAIL PROTECTED] password xxxxx poll pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com proto POP3 user xxxxx password xxxxx ---- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
