apologies and fix for fetchmail
Apologies to Raul and everyone who got bounces from me. I upgraded fetchmail to 4.3.2-1 and did some rtfm'ing -- that helped. New fetchmail wants to be told where to deliver mail: add eg. "smtphost localhost" to your .fetchmailrc. Don't forget to check if your MTA knows "localhost" is "this box here". It turns out that qmail doesn't know that -- hence the bounces. I'd love to see VERY BIG WARNING repeatedly printed by a postinst script when a program's behaviour has changed in the new version - especially when it's one of the base programs, daemons, or has something to do with mail delivery. -- Dimitri -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
