My ~/.fetchmailrc says:
poll mail.halteknet.com protocol pop3 user [EMAIL PROTECTED] password ...
I can do fetchmail without any problem.
The version:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fetchmail --version
fetchmail: This is fetchmail release 5.2.3fetchmail: +NTLMfetchmail:
+SDPSfetchmail: +NLS
The username needs @domain because the ISP uses virtual mail server;
by virtual means that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not the system user on the machine,
it's just a user of the mail server (eg: qmail). Basically, the real
address would be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ("domain" is the ISP's
domain).
