I have been using a combination of zmailer 2.99.51.52pre3-2 and fetchmail 5.3.4-1 and I am getting some errors that indicate that apparently I need to change something relating to the DNS system but I can't figure out what (or even if I need it). Since I am running a simple ppp connection I wanted to just gramy mail but this is not as easy as it first appears. I get the following errors when I run fetchmail reading message 1 of 118 (1568 header octets) fetchmail: SMTP< 220 jigglypuff ZMailer Server 2.99.52-pre3 #1 ESMTP+IDENT ready at Fri, 16 Jun 2000 11:53:45 +0000 fetchmail: SMTP> EHLO localhost fetchmail: SMTP< 250-jigglypuff expected "EHLO jigglypuff" fetchmail: SMTP< 250-SIZE 0 fetchmail: SMTP< 250-8BITMIME fetchmail: SMTP< 250-PIPELINING fetchmail: SMTP< 250-CHUNKING fetchmail: SMTP< 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES fetchmail: SMTP< 250-DSN fetchmail: SMTP< 250-X-RCPTLIMIT 10000 fetchmail: SMTP< 250-ETRN fetchmail: SMTP< 250 HELP fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=25084 fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.1.0 Sender syntax Ok fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: SMTP< 553 5.4.3 Policy analysis found DNS error on the target domain. fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address [EMAIL PROTECTED]' fetchmail: SMTP< 220 jigglypuff ZMailer Server 2.99.52-pre3 #1 ESMTP+IDENT ready at Fri, 16 Jun 2000 11:53:52 +0000 fetchmail: SMTP> HELO localhost fetchmail: SMTP< 250 jigglypuff expected "HELO jigglypuff" fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: SMTP< 553 5.4.3 Policy analysis reports DNS error with your source domain. fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: SMTP< 553 5.4.3 Policy analysis found DNS error on the target domain. fetchmail: can't even send to postmaster! fetchmail: SMTP> RSET fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.0.0 Ok fetchmail: IMAP> A0007 LOGOUT fetchmail: IMAP< ) fetchmail: IMAP< A0006 OK FETCH completed fetchmail: IMAP< * BYE www.subdimension.com IMAP4rev1 server terminating connection fetchmail: IMAP< A0007 OK LOGOUT completed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.subdimension.com fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) fetchmail: SMTP> QUIT fetchmail: SMTP< 221 2.0.0 jigglypuff Out fetchmail: normal termination, status 10
Now the problem seems to be with the machine properly authenticating itself so that the stupid SMTP server will work but after sifting through the documentation at least for about an hour and trying to change files I am at a loss as to what to exactly change. Is there any way to properly get this to work on a standalone machine with just ppp? What pracisely do I change? This is my first time actually configuring my own machine for this type of thing so be gentle.
