[expert] Trying to download mail from a server running postfix
I've setup postfix on a mdk 7.2 server but I'm having problems downloading mails from it, when I try to download via fetchmail I get: snap [number1@liquid number1]$ fetchmail -p POP3 -u number1 borg.deltacomputers.no Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 1 message for number1 at borg.deltacomputers.no (768 octets). reading message 1 of 1 (768 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from borg.deltacomputers.no fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) /snap Anybody got a clue what might be wrong or what logs I should look at to find it out ? Do I have to setup something in the postfix configs to allow downloading of mail? -- \ Christian A Strmmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...

Your config as installed should be able to handle sending mail and local delivery. I postfix running? Like sendmail it can send mail from a command line but has to be listening on port 25 to handle local delivery. Since you are getting a connection failure, that is my best first guess. Use "ps ax | grep postfix" to see if it is running. If not, as root do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix start" -- --Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt == All religions are equally vile.

That looks more like an error you get when fetchmail can't find a local mailsystem to hand what it's getting to. just a thought Andrew

It receives mails just fine and I can read the mail locally, but I can't fetch it no matter what client I try.. -- \ Christian A Strmmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...

That looks more like an error you get when fetchmail can't find a local mailsystem to hand what it's getting to. Tried with fetchmail, kmail and outlook... kmail and outlook also reads the number of mails but just stops (for a while) when trying to download it, so I figured the fetchmail error was more descriptive. -- \ Christian A Strmmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...
