Hello Mun, here an my Debian box there is an extra package 'fetchmailconf'. So it's possible that Red Hat has also it's own.

citation - extended preface of indented text
Dear list, I'm looking for a solution of smart indentation of cited mail-chunks. I know how to change this via 'indent_str', e.g., set indent_str= Is it possible to include the authors initials (and how)? For instance, lets say someone called 'Bill White' has written to me and in turn, when I hit 'r' for a replay, it should appear something like: BW Thanks, AS

I saw somewhere on the Red Hat site where they explicitly indicated that they had removed fetchmailconf from their RHEL distribution--actually, from their Fetchmail RPM. I searched Red Hat's RPM packages and fetchmailconf does not show up. In any event, I'll look into the other programs people suggested. But since I am at least a little familiar with fetchmail already; and because someone mentioned that getmail's syntax is more difficult to learn than fetchmail's, I'll most likely stick to fetchmail unless I run into a problem. Once again, thanks to all for their helpful suggestions. Happy Holidays, -- Mun

Even this crappy Exchange has some kind of SMTP log files to verify at least that the mail is arraiving at all. I'd suggest that you send an e-mail and putting in the To: field two addrs, the one of the Exchange and somhere else where you can read e-mail and then look into the header lines and try sorting out what line is causing the problem by talking SMTP directly to the Exchange server using, for example, TELNET.
