I've found out some more information. The problem isn't with fetchmail, it is with the MDA it is trying to hand the mail off to. I am using rt-mailgate.conf as my fetchmailrc file. I've pasted the relevant line below:
username username password password mda "c:/Progra~1/OurInternet/Common/perl/bin/perl.exe c:/Progra~1/Ourinternet/Reques~1/rt/bin/rt-mailgate.in --url http://localhost:8284 --queue GENERAL --action correspond" All of the RT software is running on this box, so localhost should resolve just fine. Does anyone know why this won't work?

I downloaded the installer and followed the instructions from http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?WindowsOSInstallGuide. I am running 3.0.12. Everything is going well, except when Fetchmail runs to get mail from the mail server I get the following error: C:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common\fetchmail\bin>type ..\rt-mailgate.conf | fetchmail.exe -N -d 300 -f - fetchmail: removing stale lockfile fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon 3 messages for rt at mail.server (12704 octets). reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 3 (4232 octets) .fetchmail: SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error fetchmail: socket error while delivering to SMTP host mail.server fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: sleeping at Tue Oct 24 17:18:12 2006 I've changed the name of the mail server and domain for privacy purposes. I've found many posts on the 'Net about this error message, but I haven't found anything that has helped me. I did a basic install of CYGWIN, that didn't help. I downloaded the newest CYGWIN1.dll and replaced the one in my C:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common\fetchmail\bin. That didn't help. I've since restored that file to the original version. I've also tried to access the mail server via POP3 and IMAP, I get the same error each time. I think it is because of a problem with the MTA that fetchmail is trying to hand the mail off too. The trouble is I don't know what to do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
