not to seem to dense... but for sure you only have 1 network card in this
computer?

Hi Mark (and anyone else who might be entertained by/curious about this
saga)!
Today I did a complete re-install of Mandrake 8.0 and the picture below
represents my current state. I
will yet try again on the morrow! I recently got a message from Postfix
(YEAH!) from
the system. So I get internal mail now.
First, here is my .fetchmailrc file:
= SNIP =
set postmaster WeAreUs
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties
poll home.com proto POP3 via eth0
user 'WCBaker' there with password 'xxx' is WeAreUs here
= SNIP =
Issuing fetchmail with -v flag:
message that comes back is: fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name
of home.com
Issuing from the console: fetchmail mail.home.com
message that comes back is: fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name
of mail.home.com
Issuing from the console: fetchmail home.com
message that comes back is: fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name
of home.com
For all the attempts above, I watched both the status lights on the
ethernet card attached to the cable modem and also the desktop Network
Monitoring tool, and fetchmail does appear to be doing the DNS query (well,
it is certainly doing something on the net but I have no certainty about
what it is doing).
Neither my host name nor my domain name on the Linux box are home.com
(which I figure would really shoot me in the foot, or even higher up). I
did call myself WarrenB.com, if that is ok??
It does appear that there's something scwewy going on awound here!
Those wascawy winux pwobwems. . .
Thanks to all for tolerating this continuing (seemingly forever) thread. .
.
Cheers!

WC, try typing the fetchmail command and use the -v flag and post the
results of the attempt. It sounds as though you're not telling fetchmail
the correct information, or theres something scwewy going on awound here!
