Hi, Yesterday I upgraded my debian to testing. I am now facing problems with picking the mails using fetchmail. Fetchmail keeps on telling that I do not have any messages whereas some other client like poppy shows otherwise. I have attached a session script below:
************************ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$ fetchmail fetchmail: terminated with signal 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$ fetchmail -v fetchmail: 5.9.3 querying pop.net4india.com (protocol POP3) at Wed Nov 28 18:52:41 2001: poll started fetchmail: POP3< +OK Cubic Circle's v1.31 1998/05/13 POP3 ready <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< -ERR Invalid command, try one of: USER name, PASS string, QUIT fetchmail: Invalid command, try one of: USER name, PASS string, QUIT fetchmail: POP3> USER z1585531-001 fetchmail: POP3< +OK z1585531-001 selected fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK Congratulations! fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 0 fetchmail: No mail for z1585531-001 at pop.net4india.com fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK Was it as good for you, as it was for me?

I said no to start fetchmail as root. There is no /etc/fetchmailrc. But I have on in my $HOME. The above session is with that file. Can somebody tell me where I am erring? Thanks for any help/pointers. I have a couple of more problems after the upgrade and will be back with them, but _only after_ I get the fetchmail issue sorted out. -- Sridhar M.A. [EMAIL PROTECTED] The scum also rises. -- Dr. Hunter S.
