Hi All If I give "fetchmail -u srikanthns -p pop3 mail.vsnl.com" and when I give the password at the prompt it reports an SMTP error in Slack9 and does not flush the mails.
The same procedure in RH9 retrieves the mails without any problem and stores the mail in /var/spool/mail/srikanth. That I read thru sylpheed. In both I did not give any other switches or options. Why it works in RH9 without any problem but not in Slack9? Fetchmail output in Slack given below: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fetchmail -v -u srikanthns -p pop3 mail.vsnl.com Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: fetchmail: 6.2.4 querying mail.vsnl.com (protocol POP3) at Sun Nov 30 09:17:58 2003: poll started fetchmail: POP3< +OK Messaging Multiplexor (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.16 (built May 14 2003)) fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< -ERR invalid command fetchmail: invalid command fetchmail: Repoll immediately on [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: POP3< +OK Messaging Multiplexor (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.16 (built May 14 2003)) fetchmail: POP3> USER srikanthns fetchmail: POP3< +OK password required for user [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK Maildrop ready fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 7 16463 fetchmail: POP3> LAST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 7 messages for srikanthns at mail.vsnl.com (16463 octets). fetchmail: POP3> LIST fetchmail: POP3< +OK scan listing follows fetchmail: POP3< 1 2595 fetchmail: POP3< 2 2420 fetchmail: POP3< 3 2126 fetchmail: POP3< 4 3094 fetchmail: POP3< 5 2167 fetchmail: POP3< 6 1670 fetchmail: POP3< 7 2391 fetchmail: POP3< . fetchmail: POP3> TOP 1 99999999 fetchmail: POP3< +OK reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 7 (2595 octets) fetchmail: SMTP< 220 darkstar.example.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Sun, 30 Nov 2003 09:18:04 +0530 fetchmail: SMTP> EHLO localhost fetchmail: SMTP< 250-darkstar.example.net Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you fetchmail: SMTP< 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES fetchmail: SMTP< 250-PIPELINING fetchmail: SMTP< 250-8BITMIME fetchmail: SMTP< 250-SIZE fetchmail: SMTP< 250-DSN fetchmail: SMTP< 250-ETRN fetchmail: SMTP< 250-DELIVERBY fetchmail: SMTP< 250 HELP fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=2595 fetchmail: SMTP< 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve fetchmail: SMTP error: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve fetchmail: SMTP> RSET fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.0.0 Reset state . not flushed fetchmail: POP3> TOP 2 99999999 fetchmail: POP3< +OK reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2 of 7 (2420 octets) fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=2420 fetchmail: SMTP< 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve fetchmail: SMTP error: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve fetchmail: SMTP> RSET fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.0.0 Reset state . not flushed >> This same error message for message 3 to 7 repeats|| fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK fetchmail: 6.2.4 querying mail.vsnl.com (protocol POP3) at Sun Nov 30 09:18:08 2003: poll completed fetchmail: SMTP> QUIT fetchmail: SMTP< 221 2.0.0 darkstar.example.net closing connection fetchmail: normal termination, status 0 Can any body guide please?
