I recently downloaded a small program called getmail, a simpler substitute for fetchmail, and I got it working pretty much. I wrote a script that fetches the mail from my pop account and deposits it into the correct folder /var/spool/mail/$USER. Mutt reads it all fine, and then I compose and send a reply or a new message, and Mutt seems to send it, or says it does. But I don't see the messages arriving where they are sent, and I'm at a loss as to where they are going. My system uses Postfix, and I'm not sure if it could be a Postfix config problem or something else. Is there a queue somewhere that eats the messages? I don't see them in any outbox or sent-mail box. It is bemusing, because it used to be the other way around--I could send OK, but Fetchmail didn't seem to be putting the messages anywhere. I have to say that Mutt was working fast doing whatever it was doing. I need to figure out why Getmail leaves the messages on the server when I supposedly am supplying the -d option for deleting them. Later, Don J. -- My dual-boot system Works better than my Z, and isn't as greasey. Do good stuff!
