I've decided to use a fetchmail solution to solve to problem of a LAN which
intermittently connects to the internet. The server runs RedHat 5.2 with qmail 1.03
and so does the server it retrieves its incoming email from. The server on the
internet stores the email for the LAN in a user account and it is then retrieved via
POP3. When I use this configuration, my qmail error logs report a smtp parse error,
even though I'm using the forcecr option. Anyone know if there's anything I can do on
the server ro send better messages? It doesn't seem to matter that I do the
recommended solution on the client (set forcecr)
The .fetchmailrc on the client looks like this:
set syslog
set postmaster "eric"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
set daemon 120
poll mail.mymail.com with proto POP3
localdomains corp.com cosmo.corp.com
user "jason" there with password "thepasswoed" is * here options forcecr
warnings 3600
Thanks for the help,
Eric
