Hi, while investigating about the problem with getting external mail
(I get some obscure errors, suddenly: skipping message 880 not flushed reading message 881 of 1261 (3233 bytes) .fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <@public.uni-hamburg.de> : colon expected after route fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <ingo> : sender address must contain a domain fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from public.uni-hamburg.de ) I found this: I have a local user named tester, and try to get his mail with fetchmail, this works only if I send to address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] it does not work with: tester or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can someone explain this? regards, Ingo -- "Of course, just because we've heard a spine-chilling, blood-curdling scream of the sort to make your very marrow freeze in your bones doesn't automatically mean there's anything wrong." -- (Terry Pratchett, Soul Music)
