I use pine for email, and fetchmail to actually get the email. Strangely,
today I hadn't gotten one single email, so I fire one off to myself as a
test. I never get it. OK, so I figure fetchmail isn't working. I open
Kmail to check the email, and sure enough, theres a ton of email on my
server waiting to be downloaded and read. After dl'ing and reading said
email, I open kpm, kill fetchmail (seemed logical) and type fetchmailconf
in a terminal, so I can do a little troubleshooting. Well, it didn't work.
Here is what it said:
[rog@ool-18beefd7 rog]$ fetchmailconf
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/bin/fetchmailconf", line 1841, in ?
hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())[0]
socket.error: host not found
Anyone ever seen anything like this before? This actually happened to me
once before, but I had done something stupid, which I definitly didn't do
this time...this just seemed to happen out of the blue!
Anyways, I _really_ don't want to have to reinstall again, so if anyone
can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
peace,
Rog
