I would simplify the setup as much as possible to figure out what is broken. Does fetchmail work (retrieve messages) from the command line? I'd get that working before trying the daemon mode. Can you get mail without procmail? I think "mda formail -s procmail" was a workaround for some problems in recent smail versions, so you might have to use it. If possible, don't try to debug .fetchmailrc and .procmailrc at the same time. I think the .forward is redundant if fetchmail delivers to procmail. Here is my .forward: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #lee" and my .fetchmailrc: poll pop.mindspring.com proto pop3 user lee.bradshaw, with password password, is lee here fetchall poll mail.alantro.com proto pop3 via localhost port 8110 preconnect "ssh -a -f -o 'FallBackToRsh = no' -L 8110:127.0.0.1:110 mail.alantro.com sleep 20 </dev/null >/dev/null" password password fetchall > How can I check if it's running, and if it's retrieving any mail, where is > it putting it? In .procmail do you have a LOGFILE entry? If so, check it to see what procmail is doing with messages. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
