Hi folks, Just recently I started having a wierd fetchmail problem. This morning I noticed I didn't have any email. Pretty odd. I'm running woody, exim, and fetchmail. Checking /var/log/mail.log I see:
Aug 17 00:09:44 quicksilver fetchmail[30949]: 612 messages for eldrik at maelstr om.logrus.com (2056876 octets). Aug 17 00:09:44 quicksilver fetchmail[30949]: reading message 1 of 612 (2529 oct ets) Aug 17 00:09:44 quicksilver fetchmail[30949]: MDA open failed Aug 17 00:09:44 quicksilver fetchmail[30949]: MDA error while fetching from mael strom.logrus.com Aug 17 00:09:44 quicksilver fetchmail[30949]: Query status=6 (IOERR) I had fetchmail running as fetchmail, with this in /etc/fetchmailrc: # Configuration created Thu Apr 13 16:36:10 2000 by fetchmailconf poll maelstrom.logrus.com with proto POP3 user "eldrik" there with password "XXXXXXXX" is eldrik here options forcecr I tried running fetchmail as my local user, and it delivered to exim fine. Then I set in /etc/defaults/fetchmail, RUNASROOT=true, and it delivers fine. Anyone have any ideas? -- Bruce Z.
