Hi, folks!
Today some trouble arose when I tried to get my mail from my Mail SP:
fetchmail did its job as it has been doing it for weeks -- until all
of a sudden I read the following lines on the screen:
smtp connection to localhost failed.
exit status=0
query status=10
Perhaps some further info could help fixing the problem:
My fetchmail version: 5.0.0 My qmail version: 1.03
The contents of my .fetchmail file:
poll mail.arcor-ip.de proto pop3 user r.matthiaslampert with pass
********** forcecr keep
Maybe the command line fetchmail is called with could be helpful, too:
fetchmail --smtpaddress homeoftux.netofrome.de -v
The --smtpaddress part is needed for qmail to accept mail that is
actually delivered for 'localhost'.
If you need the contents of my control/alias files for qmail, here you
have it!
virtualdomains:
:alias-ppp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-arcormail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-arcormail
rctphosts:
homeoftux.netofrome.de
~alias/.qmail-arcormail-romulus:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Something must be wrong here, and I don't even know whether this is a
qmail question at all -- I already expect some flames for bothering
the qmail mailing list with fetchmail questions.
I know Dan Bernstein is not a fetchmail enthusiast at all, but he
hasn't provided or at least mentioned any satisfactory alternatives to
it -- yet.
Could you?
