Hi all I use fetchmail to pop my mail usually, deliviring the mail locally by connection to smail via the standard port 25. Now smail still answers to port 25 if I telnet to it, but it does not for some reason want to deliver messages sent there. It does still seem to handle messages sent by calling it as sendmail, which I have set XFmail to do now. I can't seem to get fetchmail to work that way though.
The problem only seems to have shown up since I upgraded my packages to the latest HAMM, which included the smail version mentioned in the subject. If I run Pine, I get this possibly usefull error message: [Error sending: 501 HELO requires a valid host name as operand: 'localhost' smail is set up using the first option when it ask me what kinda host I am (connected to net via TCP/IP or something similar) And when it comes to smart-host setup, I have configured to use my ISP's smtp server (I am a dialup user, BTW), and to use it for all mail. Ideally I'd like to know how to fix my smail problem, but in the mean time, knowing how to set fetchmail up to work in mda mode would be useful too. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Neilen Marais <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 18-Jan-98 Time: 23:43:24 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
