Greetings,
In the tradition of a long line of questions that are inherently obvious to
someone with the most basic of skills, I figured I'd send my message
directly to the experts, thus forgoing my first rule of thumb (never post
until you read all the doc). Unfortunately, I have found that with *NIX
mail, the doc is rather extensive and sooner or later I have to sleep. =)
OK, simple enough network configuration, I have a slakware linux (2.0.36)
box doing masquerading for a small network of computers all on the same
local subdomain (192.168.2.*). None of the computers matter but my
Debian/Linux box (Slink from CD), where I would like to receive my mail. I
do internal DNS to use the domain name of JJLNet. (I'm not sure how relavant
it is, but my outside address is [EMAIL PROTECTED])
The facts
=======
1. I have exim running as my MTA. (through inetd)
2. I want local delivery to all clients on my linux machines. (That is, I
don't use aliasing for root, so I want to be able to deliver to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or my "regular login" [EMAIL PROTECTED] (This is
currently working correctly!)
3. I want to be able to pull down mail from my ISP into the spool for jjlupa
(which, again, is my normal user login on my debian box).
4. Just to make sure it wasn't a group permission problem, I added jjlupa to
the "mail" group.
I will attach my relavant files at the end of this, but here is the behavior
I am seeing.
-- When I run fetchmail (as jjlupa) it just sort of hangs there. I didn't
see any messages to the terminal, to /var/log/messages or to
/var/log/syslog.
-- When I run `fetchmail -c` it correctly tells me how many messages are
available for me to download.
-- All internal mail (between users on my debian box or between different
boxes on my local net) works just fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. To get mail I have to boot to windows
*blech* and run outlook express *double blech*. I have a feeling I'm just
doing something silly in one of the config files down below.
