I am running smail as my local mail agent and fetchmail to pull from my
ISP. It was working fine, but I think I have a typo in the config file,
because fetchmail -v fails with the following error:
+OK message 1 (3062 octets):
reading message 1
.SMTP< in.smtpd: /etc/smail/config: parse error: expected `=' after
attribute name
fetchmail: SMTP connect failed
> QUIT
Here is my config file:
# This is the main Smail configuration file.
# It was originally generated by `smailconfig', part of the Smail
package
# distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system
administrator.
# It was originally generated by smailconfig at Sat Dec 14 12:55:07 EST
1996
# Please modify the above line, if you change this file by hand.
# See smailconf(5) for details of the things that can be configured
here.

My local login name is rob, and since I also use root occasionally to
send mail, hard coding the from_field is the easiest way to go.
I think the error is in the from_field, but I can't be sure. I've tried
from_field=From: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
from_field="From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
none of these seem to work. If I need to supply more info, no problem.
Thanks.
