hi,
I need help bad! I have spent the last 3 nights to the wee hours
of the morning trying to configure postfix to work with my hotwire
connection. I am able to send mail to myself. via command line
$mail pankaj
this sends a mail to me and if i write the Subject:[ilugd]
it even gets filtered. i can also send mail to anyone in the
world for example this mail.
So far so good. now when i download mail using fetchmail hell
breaks loose. fetchmail despite my sincierest efforts refuses
to give me my mail and instead sends it to the deferred. that
is all the messages I download bounce back. this happens only
when i download messages via fetchmail local delivery is working
fine.
yes, to /var/spool/postfix/defer/
