Bouncemail doesn't even seem to be available in my fetchmailrc template file. What version of fetchmail do you have?

Instead I always get an "SMTP Transaction error". It reads the first incoming message for a few seconds, then it exits with "connection failed" and I tried it over and over again... Do I really need 'set bouncemail' and 'set properties ""'? Let me get the following clear: I am not having X yet, fetchmailconfig doesn't work for me, so I set up ~/.fetchmailrc by myself. For the time being all I want is to have mail delivered anywhere, so I am not even talking about any MUA, be it mutt, elm, mozilla or whatever. This will be my next big problem ;) Do you invoke fetchmail via your MUA? Sorry for my confused asking, but there are just too many problems all at once. I never thought this would become so complicated... Thanks in advance, Andreas
