I have been running qmail at home for a couple of months now, with no
problems what so ever.
However, toward the end of last week, I had a problem with an email (my
ISP's newsletter!!) that didn't have cr's followed by lf's or whatever.
Anyway, to cut a story short, I ended up upgrading to the latest version
of fetchmail, and adding the "forcecr" option to it.
That is the only thing that has changed, followed by a reboot because I
hit the wrong power switch (don't ask). Since qmail was back up and
running the mail has started to be delivered to ~/Mailbox instead of
~/mbox so my pop3 deamon (the one that comes with RH6.0) wasn't
recognising there was any new mail.
To solve the problem I did "ln -s Mailbox mbox" and while it works, I
have a feeling this is bad. Can someone explain how I get pop3d to use
Mailbox or get qmail to deliver mail to mbox instead.
My system (for me and the misses at home) works like this. I have a
RH6.0 box, running qmail1.03. I have a cron script that does the
following.
o Dials my ISP
o Sends any mail with serialmail
o collects mail with the latest version of fetchmail
o collects other sundry HTML files (TV guide etc)
o drops the line
