I have recently installed Debian slink. I have successfully configured Exim and I can send email out to my isp mailhost using Mutt but I can't get fetchmail to successfully retrieve any email from it. When I run the following command :
% fetchmail -a -k -v >& fetchmail.log % cat fetchmail.log I get the following output: fetchmail: 4.6.4 querying mailhub.icx.net (protocol POP3) at Thu May 6 23:40:59 1999 fetchmail: POP3< +OK QPOP (version IDG-1.2.53) at icx.net starting. fetchmail: POP3> USER copelandm fetchmail: POP3< +OK Password required for copelandm. fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK copelandm has 1 message (808 octets). fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 808 fetchmail: POP3> LIST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 messages (808 octets) fetchmail: POP3< 1 808 fetchmail: POP3< . 1 message for copelandm at mailhub.icx.net (808 octets). fetchmail: POP3> RETR 1 fetchmail: POP3< +OK 808 octets reading message 1 of 1 (808 octets) fetchmail: SMTP< 220 dharma ESMTP Exim 2.05 #1 Thu, 6 May 1999 23:41:03 -0400 fetchmail: SMTP> EHLO localhost fetchmail: SMTP< 250-dharma Hello copelandm at dharma [127.0.0.1] fetchmail: SMTP< 250-SIZE fetchmail: SMTP< 250-PIPELINING fetchmail: SMTP< 250 HELP fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=808 fetchmail: SMTP< 250 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is syntactically correct fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: SMTP< 550 relaying to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> prohibited by administrator fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address [EMAIL PROTECTED]' fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: SMTP< 550 relaying to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> prohibited by administrator fetchmail: can't even send to copelandm! fetchmail: SMTP> RSET fetchmail: SMTP< 250 Reset OK fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mailhub.icx.net fetchmail: Query status=10 fetchmail: SMTP> QUIT fetchmail: SMTP< 221 dharma closing connection fetchmail: normal termination, status 10 I sent a test message from my account at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my icx.net account. My machine is named 'dharma' . The problem seems to be the "@localhost" . I don't know if it is fetchmail that is doing it or if it is Exim. Any solutions. Thank you, Monte
