Can anyone give me a short and sweet rundown of what I need configured to get a working fetchmail system running?
I have SMail set up and working (I can send E-mail from my system, and I can send/receive email between different accounts on my system). Now I want fetchmail to grab mail from my ISP, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I have a ~/.fetchmailrc file that has my ISP user name and password. I also added a line saying that I want "mda formail -s procmail". I have a .forward file in my home directory, and I have a .procmailrc file. If I run fetchmail -c it checks my ISP and notifies me I have X number of messages waiting. However, I can't get it configured so that it retrieves the mail and sends it to my account. I can't tell if fetchmail is even running (I start it at login using start-stop-daemon -S --exec fetchmail -- -d 5000) although it shows up on TOP every now and then. How can I check if it's running, and if it's retrieving any mail, where is it putting it? Any help would be greatly appreciated... -Brent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
