It looks to me as if it is actually getting at least some of the mail, but that it is not being distributed locally. Can you email to yourself locally, i.e., to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever it is)? or from another user on the same machine? My bet is you can't. Once you get that right, I think fetchmail will work properly.
Is sendmail running: 'ps aux | grep sendmail' ? or 'postfix'? or 'qmail'? You need one of them running. - Martin - On Mon, May 13, 2002 at 10:47:00AM -0500, Henning, Brian wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to get fetchmail to fetch my email and put it in my inbox on my > redhat box but i am having some problems.
