Re: [expert] Help with fetchmail/fetchmailconf
I don't know about fetchmailconf, but sometimes the old ways are still the best. Try this: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/fetchmail stop # vi /etc/fetchmailrc :wq #fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc That should do it..

[expert] Help with fetchmail/fetchmailconf
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have been running postfix on my system for a long time, primarily for sending mail, receiving mail from my yahoo pop mail account. I am now trying to setup fetchmail to work with postfix and procmail plus spamassassin to act for both incoming and outgoing mail. I have fetchmail 6.1.0 and fetchmailconf. I ran fetchmailconf to configure fetchmail during an initial test but now the test is over and I want to change its polling behavior. I try to run fetchmailconf now and it errors out with this: [praedor@lapdog praedor]$ fetchmailconf Can't read configuration output of fetchmail --configdump. This has happened twice. I can only run fetchmailconf once. After that, it is impossible because it errors out. What is the problem here and how do I fix it? praedor - -- Conservatives of all times are adventitious liars. - - Friedrich Nietzsche. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE93PpU1i/6R1B/Yh0RAuBWAKCCEqUgqyHBi1HXJBFWzDCVscDyAACePQ4S fjwcr2+8rEVCiTe5PYv6H2U= =Of+E -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
