More fetchmail woes
Hi all, fetchmail is fetching old and new messages again and again. My .fetchmailrc is as follows. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to have it pick up new messages only. I think I have read man fetchmail correctly and use the command fetchmail Also, how would I add a server pop.isp.com with account abc1 and password qwerty to my list of servers to poll? All help appreciated! Patrick set postmaster patrick poll pop.dial.pipex.com with proto POP3 user maxy36 there with password ngookich is patrick here options keep no fetchall no flush warnings 3600
Re: More fetchmail woes
Its a dummy account. Please feel free to post to it or take from it. If you happen to delete the test messages, please do send another set up.

I actually need to leave copies of all messages on the POP server. Its making that option work that I am struggling with.

I think I have read man fetchmail correctly and use the command fetchmail On way to prevent multiple downloads of the same emails is to use the flush option, which will delete the emails on the server once downloaded. If you want to keep them on the pop server as a backup, then use the uidl option (look at the man page for details). It will assign an (unique) identifier to each email, store in a file the identifiers of mails already downloaded, and check against this list to prevent multiple downloads of the same emails. I hope it helps. Francois -- Francois Gelis / LAPTH / [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone:(+33) 4 50 09 16 80 / fax:(+33) 4 50 27 94 95
fetchmail woes
Hi all, After a heavy couple of hours reading man fetchmail I came up with this .fetchmailrc: set postmaster patrick poll pop.dial.pipex.com with proto POP3 user maxy36 there with password ngookich is patrick here options fetchall warnings 3600 But I get this message when I try to run it. rhino:~# fetchmail File /root/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions. Also, after chown 0710 I get rhino:~# ls -al .fetchmailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164 Jul 12 15:51 .fetchmailrc What am I doing wrong?

Re: fetchmail woes
The command your looking for is 'chmod 710 /root/.fetchmailrc' NOT chown which changes the owner of the file. Hope that helps Graham.

Hurrah indeed!
Thanks to Kris and Mark Brown and all who mailed help for this. exim and
fetchmail now work. All that's left is to set up IMP for web-based mail
access.
