Famous last words, I thought this would be easy ...
All I want to do is get a "simple" comandline email client going. Just fetch messages from a POP server. How hard can that be. Well if you have no idea what you are doing it can be a lot harder than you expected. For some reasonn that eludes me I cannot get fetchmail to play with postfix. Here is a snippet of what seems to be the best diagnostic I have. Oh BOFH have mercy. What can I do to fix this. fetchmail: POP3> UIDL fetchmail: POP3< +OK fetchmail: POP3< 1 GmailId10e82434095d35eb fetchmail: POP3< . 1 message for testlw at pop.gmail.com (998 octets). fetchmail: POP3> LIST 1 fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 998 fetchmail: POP3> TOP 1 99999999 fetchmail: POP3< +OK message follows reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 1 (998 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< ---------- Forwarded message ---------- fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and delivering to SMTP host localhost fetchmail: 6.3.2 querying pop.gmail.com (protocol POP3) at Wed 25 Oct 2006 06:41:31 PM PDT: poll completed fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) fetchmail: normal termination, status 10 Done. ps ax shows postfix/master running before this but gone afterwards if that matters. Tell me what configs to send and I will comply. TIA, BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
