I am having issue with email, my /var/log/mail.err is full of socket errors over the weekend. Tech support said to try fetchmail -v from the command line. My problem is, my fetchmailrc file has many entries for users, none local, so I don't think I can run fetchmail from the command line.
anyone know how to run fetchmail in VERBOSE mode, from the fetchmailrc method? what I get from the command line is: # fetchmail -v fetchmail: WARNING: Running as root is discouraged. fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified. when I run it as my local user I get: $ fetchmail -v MAIL_SERVER Enter password for p...@mail_server: pbc is my local user on my box, not my email user.. what /var/log/mail.err is telling me is: Nov 1 04:53:13 paulandcilla fetchmail[4950]: socket error while fetc hing from u...@my_domain.com@EMAIL_SERVER.com -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
