I'm a little farther along with my mail trials. Out going works
fine but I can't receive with fetchmail. I'm using exim, fetchmail
and pine on Potato.
My /etc/hosts contains the following line -
192.168.10.7 debian.local debian
This is how I answered the questions from eximconfig:
*Visible mail name = debian.local
*Other names appearing on incoming = none
*Relay for domains = none
*Relay for local machines = 192.168.10.0/24
*RBL = no
*Which machine is smarthost = mail.peoplepc.com
(I wasn't sure if I should put smpt.peoplepc.com hear or
mail.peoplepc.com)
*Postmaster mail to = kent
My .fetchmailrc:
# Configuration created Sat Nov 18 15:38:41 2000 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "kent"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll smtp.peoplepc.com with proto POP3
user [EMAIL PROTECTED] there with password xxxx is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] here
(here again I'm not sure if it should be smpt.peoplepc.com or
mail.peoplepc.com)
Readout of fetchmail after sending a test mail to my isp:

I don't see any errors here. It seems to be fetching but I can't
find the email on my machine. It should be in /var/spool/mail/kent
as that is where exim is pointed to. Sorry for the length here.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
kent
