MUA questions
I just installed FreeBSD 7.2 on a new box and am having trouble getting either fetchmail or getmail to talk to the ISP. Is this a question that can can be answered here, or is there another more appropriate forum. I thought it best to ask that question first before going any further. Thanks...

I use fetchmail, though I'm not an expert. What's the problem?

Robert Huff Basically, I am using Mutt as my MUA, and I have either getmail or fetchmail configured to receive my POP3 mail from Comcast, which is via mail.comcast.net. I am using msmtp as my smtp client, and have no trouble sending mail from Mutt...just can't receive. Both the .fetchmailrc and getmailrc configurations have worked in the past. Is this possibly a sendmail issue? The fetchmail.log repeatedly indicates Trying to connect to 76.96.54.12/110...connection failed: Operation temed out.

Are you sure Mutt is trying to use fetchmail or getmail, and not still trying to use Sendmail instead? -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpKR90FtlREu.pgp Description: PGP signature

Are you sure Mutt is trying to use fetchmail or getmail, and not still trying to use Sendmail instead? Well...I'm embarrassed to admit this, but the problem was with the operator...that would be me. Everything was doing its job correctly, including procmail. I'd forgotten how to call up the list of mailboxes where procmail puts everything, and when I hit the return key I kept getting the no mail message, so I just assumed that the mail was not being received. But no, everything was being put exactly where it was supposed to be, and once I remembered how to access the individual mailboxes guess what I found. This is what happens when you spend a year operating a windoze box. I'm sure glad to be back with FreeBSD. Thanks to all who responded. Cheers...
