Hello all, I've recently started using Debian 2.2, and I'm having a few weird mail issues popping up. If anyone could provide some assistance, or nudge me in the direction of some specific spot in the documentation, I'd appreciate it greatly.
1) Added the sources for the online repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list, did the apt-get upgrade thing, and am happily using Netscape 4.75 -- w/ one exception. When I enter the information for the pop/smtp server that I receive/send mail from, I cannot get any new mail. When I click on the 'Get Messages' icon, it(Netscape) tells me that I have no new messages. Like heck I don't! At the time I had something like 200+ messages on my Yahoo! account. I've set this up in the past on other systems (Mandrake, SuSE, RedHat), and I'd be interested on why it doesn't seem to be functional on Debian. 2) I have exim installed currently. I tried sendmail, as my previous setup had been sendmail + install-sendmail (a perl setup script), which had been pretty painless, and had gotten everything delivered w/ the right addresses and whatnot, plus setup fetchmail easily. I tried doing the same setup on Debian, and it doesn't seem to get along real well w/ the install-sendmail script. Since I'm not masochistic enought to want to edit sendmail for my simple home setup, I was looking towards masqmail, but I need to know what I need to do to get it to accept mails from fetchmail. I read thru the docs, but something wasn't working right, because fetchmail couldn't get a response on port 25. 3) After setting up fetchmail, and running it, I seem to be getting a bunch of mails (so far over a dozen) which show up in Netscape as having no title, being from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (me), and the header is displayed as part of the message. As such, the Netscape filters don't move them to the appropriate folders correctly. What could be causing this? Thanks for your time, and any help is greatly appreciated, Monte _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
