Fetchmail: Error message in maillog [SOLVED]
Hello, fetchmail: connection to localhost:smtp [::1/25] failed: Connection refused. Just for the record. The problem is solved with these few lines in the /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf # inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.6, 127.0.0.1, [::1] smtp_bind_address = 0.0.0.0 smtp_bind_address6 = :: inet_protocols = all # Have fun, -vlado Vladimir Botka ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is it possible that something changed as regards IPv6/IPv4 as part of the update? I have been in touch with a few individuals on the Fetchmail forum. It appears, at least according to the change log, that IPv6 has been improved on the latest version of Fetchmail. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not. In any case, I disabled IPv6 on this PC and the problem went away. I think this problem needs more investigations though. -- Gerard ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The first command produced absolutely nothing. The postconf output was also blank. This problem did not exist until I updated fetchmail. It does appear that all of the mail is being delivered. The 'mailq' is negative. Perhaps this is just a nuisance warning in the newer version. I'll post it on the fetchmail board and see what they have to say. -- Gerard One Bell System - it sometimes works. pgpQgkTsa1F4g.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not that this is any particular help but is there some special reason
you want to run the mail through postfix rather than simply use a
tool like procmail straight from fetchmail for your deliveries? That
is what I do. This is the magic. I run it as each of two individual
users.
defaults mda /usr/bin/procmail -d me
me is really the user name for the user running the instance of
fetchmail. Loren and I use different fetchmail modes.
