Hi!
I've been running a server with Debian GNU/Linux stable for a few years
now. Due to some reasons I recently upgraded to unstable. I didn't
change the configuration of exim and fetchmail, but now I'm
experiencing problems.
The relevant part of my /etc/fetchmailrc looks like this:

I'm stumped. Is this a problem with my exim/fetchmail config or is it a OE

To work with my ISP 's email cap limit, it seems to be a good idea to
use a local server to fetch the emails first, and then use a client
machine to finally retrieve them later (client machine is not always
on). Shyamal points out (on Oct 12) that he uses exim+fetchmail to do

Hello,
With the help of this list, I have successfully upgraded from Potato to
Woody! 20 hours on a dialup.
However, I am having some troubles with mail handling; exim & fetchmail

I'm about to move inside of a firewall. I'm told that I can get

This probably made no sense to anyone.
Sorry for wasting the bandwidth -- unbeknownst to me, the first message never

You need to check your system log to see what is happening. I would do
following as root.
1. apt-get install mc
2. poke around /var/log with mc to see all what is happening.
3. check /etc/exim.conf especially around procmail.
exim use fetchmail as local MDA only if it is configured so.

Hi!
When I send a message to myself (maurizio) locally exim passes the message
correctly to procmail (I have a ~/.procmailrc) which moves it to ~/Mail/In
which is read by Mutt.
If I send a message to an e-mail address outside my PC world and the I fetch it

In previous flavors of Linux and Freebsd, I had sendmail
running. I would do a "fetchmail" to get my email from
my ISP, and I had a ".forward" file that would send my
mail to "procmail" for sorting/filtering.
I now have Debian 2.2 Potato set up and it uses exim.

I've got exim up and running. I used eximconf and selected option

Mail comes in from mail.linux.com using imap. The connection is
tunnelled over ssh. The connection goes fine and my proc.log sh
I have found out that I can point Netscape to /var/spool/mail/$USER by
setting the file type of the Incoming Mail server to "Movemail"
instead of POP3 (I use xemacs-21.1.10's movemail). So I can indeed use
fetchmail without having to set up a POP3 server myself.

Sure, just use fetchmail to grab mail from the net and put it on the
local machine. Here's the strategy:
Configure Exim to be an internet site using a smarthost (option #2).
