Hi Chan,

Nice to meet you here and welcome.
Frankly, I'm so eager to help you regarding your questions but unfortunately
I'm also still a newbie on Linux environment :(.
Because of that let me translate your questions into our language to let
other members understand and help you.

Hi temans kawan baru kita ini dia tanya, begini:

Sekarang dia lagi ngurusin tugas akhirnya tapi ada beberapa masalah ketika
memulainya, antara lain tentang:

Penggunaan fetchmail dan procmail di Linux.
Dia udah nyiapin file2 yang diperluin seperti .procmailrc dan .fetchmailrc
tapi tetap bermasalah.
Pertanyaannya:

1. Setelah dia nyiapin "~/.procmailrc", "~/.forward" dan "~/.fetchmailrc"
dia tuliskan "|exec /usr/bin/procmail" di file "~/.forward". Trus nyoba send
email ke alamat dia sendiri tapi emailnya malah dibalikin lagi. Errornya
antara lain bahwa sendmail tidak support perintah "|exec/usr/bin/procmail"
di file "~/.forward".
- Apakah ini memang benar-benar menjadi bermasalah?
- Atau karena versi terbaru dari sendmail tidak memperbolehkan forwarding?

2. Anda tahu kan tentang fetchmail?
Ketika gue login sebagai root katanya, dia ketikkan "exec fetchmail"
tiba-tiba layar tancapnya jadi blank seperti tidak terjadi apa-apa. Trus dia
nyoba login sebagai user A, ketik lagi "exec fetchmail", dia jalan dan mulai
lakukan pengecekkan lalu download email dari pop3 server.
- Nah, apakah dalam kasus ini fetchmail tidak bisa jalan dengan menggunakan
root?

3. Nomor tiga terwakili dengan pertanyaan no. 2 (ah dasar bikin cape gue
:)).

Nah begitu katanya temans. Tarengkyu atas bantuannya.

Tapi ini pertanyaan teh tentang Linux atau Fetchmail sih.
Ah peduli amat karena si amat aja gek peduli yang penting belajar tull gak?
:).

Salam,
Nugie

Subject: [tanya-jawab] Question about linux


hi :) i am a university student, currently in final
year final semester. i am doing my final project now.
i face some problems when i start doing my project.
so, i would like to ask some questions. i really hope
that u can help me.

i have started to explore linux since a few months
ago. recently i try to use fetchmail and procmail in
linux. i already prepare the needed files, such as
.procmailrc and .fetchmailrc. but there is still some
problem i face. belows are my questions:

1. first, i prepare all the files need, such as
"~/.procmailrc" , "~/.forward" and "~/.fetchmailrc". i
put "|exec /usr/bin/procmail" in file "~/.forward".
then i try to send an email to myself. but the email
was returned. the error message said  something that
sendmail dont support this command "|exec
/usr/bin/procmail" in file "~/.forward". so, what do u
think is the problem?
is it because the new version of sendmail dont allow
forwarding?

2. do u know fetchmail?
when i log in as root, i type "exec fetchmail", then
the screen disappear, and nothing seems happen. then
when i log in as user A, i type "exec fetchmail", it
starts checking and download email from pop3 server.
in both home directory i already prepare the same
".fetchmailrc" file. so, is it means fetchmail cannot
be run in root?

3.1 more question. when i type the commands at
terminal, such as "exec fetchmail", the screen of
terminal disappear. is it means that the command
cannot be executed?

that's all for now.
thank you very much for spending your time to read
this email. thanks a lot :)

regards,
hweefarn
