I just switched over from sendmail to exim on one of my machines, and I was having a problem getting my mail from any other machine via fetchmail. If I put fetchmail in verbose mode I can see that exim is rejecting the SMTP command because there's no domain name:
fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<rlb> fetchmail: SMTP< 501 <rlb>: recipient address must contain a domain but it's fetchmail that's trying to send the mail locally to <rlb> with no domain. I feel sure I've overlooked something simple. Any help/(RTFM pointer) would be appreciated. $ fetchmail -u rlb -a mailbox.cs.utexas.edu Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: fetchmail: 4 messages (4 seen) at [EMAIL PROTECTED] reading message 1 of 4 (488 header bytes) fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address `rlb' fetchmail: can't even send to calling user! fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mailbox.cs.utexas.edu: Unknown error 18446744073709551615 fetchmail: terminated with signal 2 Thanks -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
