Hi, I've been using fetchmail and ssh for a while on a debian bo system, but now I'd like to get them to work together. I'm not having any success. Here is part of my .fetchmailrc for my closest attempt:
poll mail.alantro.com proto pop3 port 2110 preconnect "ssh -L 2110:127.0.0.1:110 mail.alantro.com" user lee, with password password, is lee here fetchall When I run "fetchmail mail.alantro.com" it opens a shell on mail.alantro.com. When I exit the shell, it seems to stall until I hit Ctrl-C. Is this a reasonable way to use the port and preconnect commands? This is my first experience with the -L command, so I'm not sure I'm using it properly. Well, I know I'm not using something properly :^) I haven't been able to find an example. Just offhand references in the man pages and /usr/doc that ssh now supports pop and the preconnect command is to be used with ssh. Thanks for any help. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
