Hello If you are using Debian unstable , you're using Exim4 i suppose.... Ok... You want to fetch some mail from your isp mailbox and deliver it on your private network... Firstable you have to configure correctly Exim or it won't work ... I use Exim4-daemon-heavy + fetchmail + courier-imap-ssl + procmail + spamassassin... You have to configure Procmail for local delivering (maildir or mbox...) or you won't receive mail in your mailbox Maybe you didn't configure procmail correctly i guess
Have a look here: http://hurring.com/linux/raid1-server/mail-server/ http://talk.trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim_maildir_imap.shtml http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ For me i didn't make a lot of configuration, just answering the debconf questions used vi not more than 2 times... Goo luck ;-) Hervé P.S: my configuration for Fetchmail: I use a global configuration= i don't use .fetchmailrc in /home/user/ I create a non-root user for fetching the mail like : fetchmail with nogoup for the user group and /var/run/fetchmail for its home directory Then change the owner of the file /etc/fetchmailrc to fetchmail:nogroup Chmod 600 /etc/fetchmail Change owner of /var/run/fetchmail to fetchmail:nogroup Chmod 700 /var/run/fetchmail In /etc/default/fetchmail SERVICE=true CONFFILE=/etc/fetchmailrc OPTIONS="--daemon 300 --syslog" RUNASROOT=false Then in /etc/fetchmailrc: #begin of fetchmailrc set postmaster "postmaster" set nobouncemail set no spambounce set properties "" poll imap.foo.xx with proto IMAP user 'foo1' there with password 'XXXXXXX' is 'foo' here options keep poll pop.foo.xx with proto POP3 user 'foo2' there with password 'XXXXXXX' is 'foo' here options keep #end of fetchmailrc Rem :"keep" option is important during the test phase if you don't want loosing mail This example is for 1 maildir ans multi account You can put all the params for all the users of your computer -----Message d'origine----- De : Martin Saturka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : samedi 25 octobre 2003 17:36 À : Shane Hickey Cc : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: Courier configuration Hello, thank you and sorry. I try to play with courier at my desktop and I use exim as default. Thus I cyclicly reinstall smtp packages and it takes time. By now, I am able to send email from my desktop through courier, but I do receive messages neither by SMTP nor by IMAP to localhost nor IMAP to remote site. Error message by fetchmail to localhost: ----------- Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: fetchmail: mailbox selection failed fetchmail: socket error while fetching from localhost fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) ----------- Error message by fetchmail to remote site: ----------- Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 1 message for user at remote.com reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 1 ((706 header octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 513 Syntax error. fetchmail: mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounced to [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: can't even send to mehere! flushed ----------- Below are two lines from my /var/log/mail/mail.err ----------- Oct 22 19:03:47 localcompname courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:127.0.0.1,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,to=<meher [EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 513 Syntax error.

The things work under exim usage. I use Debian/unstable. Thank you for any help. Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
