The rest of my new box is working, but -- as expected -- mail isn't. I can send mail, which is recorded in syslog & arrives at this machine, but I can't grab mail from the 2 mail servers out there (ISP + UoT). The cron job in /var/spool/cron/crontabs is the same as here with the same permissions & syslog says it runs it every 5 min . .fetchmailrc is the same there as here & so is .procmailrc . I've tried remerging Fetchmail Procmail & their deps & checked USE flags. There definitely was mail to download, as the test msgs I sent had been waiting some time when I got them on this machine (yes, I always send 2 of them via each of the mail servers).
One thought is that it mb due to the presence of Python3 on the new machine: there's a line at the end of the Fetchmail emerge output which says something re "CPython". Mail is usually difficult to get going, as there are so many pieces & they all have to work correctly. Any suggestions are very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
