I've set up fetchmail to retireve via POP3 on one machine successfully. Same set up (as far as I can determine) on another machine fails. Using other ways of retrieiving POP3 mail on this other machine works just fine.
The POP3 with fetchmail fails once it tries to download the messages: ======================================================================== fetchmail: POP3< +OK Mailbox open, 3 messages fetchmail: selecting or re-polling default folder fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 3 27521 fetchmail: POP3> LAST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 3 messages for XXXX at YYYY (27521 octets). fetchmail: POP3> LIST fetchmail: POP3< +OK Mailbox scan listing follows fetchmail: POP3< 1 12237 fetchmail: POP3< 2 1710 fetchmail: POP3< 3 13574 fetchmail: POP3< . fetchmail: POP3> RETR 1 fetchmail: POP3< +OK 12237 octets reading message 1 of 3 (12237 octets) About to rewrite Return-Path: XXXX Rewritten version is Return-Path: XXXX About to rewrite From: XXXX Rewritten version is From: XXXX About to rewrite To: XXXX Rewritten version is To: XXXXX ======================================================================== It now just sits there? On the machine where it works I get exactly as above but then ======================================================================== fetchmail: forwarding to localhost fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:XXXX SIZE=1710 fetchmail: SMTP< 250 XXXX is syntactically correct fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:XXXX fetchmail: SMTP< 250 XXXX is syntactically correct fetchmail: SMTP> DATA ======================================================================== and seems to be just fine. Any ideas how to hunt this down? I'm using exim, same version and config files on both machines. But I don't even seem to get to "forwarding to localhost". If I tell fetchmail to use mda procmail (on this otherwise failing machine) it does get the message from the POP server? ii exim 3.22-4 Exim Mailer ii fetchmail 5.8.6-1 POP3, APOP, IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder Thanks, Graham
