Hi Laurence,
I found the same:
E Mail retreival doesn't work with multidrop in 4.1b3 as /etc/crontab is
not being written to.
The problem:
In the admin browser menu, select Configuration-->Email Retreival, set the
mode to multidrop and add the secondary server, frequencies, etc. When this
is saved and the events run, nothing is written to /etc/crontab.
The diagnosis:
The EmailRetreival parameter in /home/e-smith/configuration is set to
'standard' (although the fetchmail Method parameter is set to 'multidrop')
so when this is read by
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/crontab/email, the test:
if (($EmailRetreival eq 'etrn') || ($EmailRetreival eq 'multidrop'))
fails.
Either the EmailRetreival parameter is being set incorrectly to 'standard'
or the template should be testing against the fetchmail Method parameter?
Even when this one is fixed, there is a similar problem with
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/fetchmail/50multi-drop which writes to
/etc/fetchmail in that the $SecondaryMailServer, $SecondaryMailAccount &
$SecondaryMailPassword configuration variables are used when they haven't
been saved.

Subject: [e-smith-devinfo] POP3 Mail Collection
I am using s-smith 4.1 beta 3 with a dial up modem and want to collect mail
from a POP3 server located at my ISP.
I can browse the WWW, send e-mail but cannot get the system to retrieve
e-mail.
Settings under Email Retrieval:
Email Retrieval Mode: Multidrop
Delegate Mail Server: <Blank> (Also tried IP address of the ISP's POP3
server)
Secondary Mail Server: IP address of the ISP's POP3 server
POP User account: Account name (without @company.xxx)
POP user password: Password for POP3 account
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards, Laurence Goodman
