Hi, Mark.
I wonder where the problem really is here!
Just in case, check port 25 and sendmail
Try
telnet localhost (or whatever your hostname) 25
If you get a response type in
HELO localhost
You should get a cheery "pleased to meet you message" from
sendmail. If not there is something wrong with sendmail, or your
firewall will not even let YOU in.
--------------------------------------
Like this:-
[glyn@glyn-thebearded glyn]$ telnet glyn-thebearded 25
Trying 10.12.11.26...
Connected to glyn-thebearded.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 glyn-thebearded.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3/8.9.3; Sun, 25 Jun 2000 16:32:40
+0100
HELO glyn-thebearded
250 glyn-thebearded.localdomain Hello glyn-thebearded.localdomain [10.12.11.26],
pleased to meet you
-------------------------------------------------------
Is fetchmail bringing down the mail anywhere?
set syslog
in your .fetchmailrc will send out put to maillog - you might
then get some indication of where the mail IS going.
-------------------------------------------------------
If that doesn't shed any light could you let us have a look at
your fetchmailrc and a few chunks from maillog?
Good luck?
