I don't have the /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc because I use a user local file. Well, there you go, then. The system global operation requires that file. You'll need to run per-user daemons, which can be set up by following the instructions in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail. In particular, pay attention to `fetchmail_users'.

fetchmail in system-wide mode
Hello, On the Internet there are some sites where they say to start fetchmail(1) in system-wide should put these two options in rc.conf(5) : fetchmail_enable=YES fetchmail_polling_interval=60 Although the second is optional and at first has little to do with this question because this question is addressed rather to the first option. I searched in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and rc.conf(5) manual and find no reference to these two options. I have them in my rc.conf(5) but fetchmail(1) does not start automatically. In /usr/src/UPDATING not found any reference to it. Which is the correct way to start fetchmail(1) in system-wide? Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I searched in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and rc.conf(5) manual and find no reference to these two options. This is to be expected. fetchmail(1) is a port, not part of the base system.

If so, and you still can't get it to start automatically, try this: # script fetchmail_startup sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail start You'll now have a file called `fetchmail_startup' which will contain a record of exactly what the fetchmail rc script did as it executed, which may or may not prove informative.
