--- Begin Message ---Package: mailsync Version: 5.1.0-1 Severity: normal This is going to sound weird... Summary: when I run mailsync from the command line, it works just fine between my workstation and the mail server. If I run it from cron, it doesn't. The config I'm using: ========================================================== store lump-inbox { server {lump/user=steve-mail/ssl/novalidate-cert} ref {lump} pat /var/spool/mail/steve passwd <password> } store local-inbox { pat /var/spool/mail/steve } channel inbox local-inbox lump-inbox { msinfo .msinfo-inbox } ========================================================== Running from cron produces errors locally like: [Trying IP address [10.13.0.1]] Synchronizing stores "local-inbox" <-> "lump-inbox"... Authorizing against {lump.mossbank.org.uk/imap} Store pattern doesn't match any selectable mailbox and on the server end I see: Apr 4 01:36:02 lump imapd[14177]: imaps SSL service init from 10.13.0.5 Apr 4 01:36:02 lump imapd[14177]: Authenticated user=steve-mail host=sledge.mossbank.org.uk [10.13.0.5] Apr 4 01:36:02 lump imapd[14177]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=steve-mail host=sledge.mossbank.org.uk [10.13.0.5] If I run from the command line, it all works: sledge:~$ mailsync inbox Synchronizing stores "local-inbox" <-> "lump-inbox"... Authorizing against {lump.mossbank.org.uk/imap} /var/spool/mail/steve: 48 remain. Mails expunged and the server then sees: Apr 4 01:38:40 lump imapd[14313]: imaps SSL service init from 10.13.0.5 Apr 4 01:38:40 lump imapd[14313]: Authenticated user=steve-mail host=sledge.mossbank.org.uk [10.13.0.5] Apr 4 01:38:40 lump imapd[14313]: Logout user=steve-mail host=sledge.mossbank.org.uk [10.13.0.5] If I downgrade to mailsync all works fine, both command line and cron. Googling for the error message "Command stream end of file" suggests that this might be an SSL issue of some sort. Help! -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
