I've got a problem trying to configure .fetchmailrc. I'm trying to retrieve
mail from a remote POP3 server, and forward it to another server/email
account. The special conditions I have are:
1) I do not have a local sendmail running so I must use an external SMTP
server.
2) The 'goto' mailbox is on a different server and I need to use another
SMTP server.
For example, my current .fetchmailrc reads as such (pass changed):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
set daemon 300 # Poll at 300s intervals
defaults proto pop3
keep
fetchall # needed cause I access it via IMAP someimes
smtphost "mail.idealmusic.com"
# smtpaddress "idealmusic.com"
smtpname "eric(_at_)idealmusic(_dot_)com"
# user "eric"
poll mail.idealmusic.com proto pop3 user "eric" password "mypass"
The log file reads:
-------------------------
fetchmail: 8 messages at eric(_at_)mail(_dot_)cdc(_dot_)net(_dot_)
fetchmail: reading message 1 of 8 (2323 bytes) .. not flushed
fetchmail: reading message 2 of 8 (1145 bytes) . not flushed
fetchmail: reading message 3 of 8 (3598 bytes) (log message incomplete)
fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address `eric'
fetchmail: can't even send to calling user!
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.cdc.net
Again, I am needing to use an SMTP Server that is not on this box. I am
trying to reveive POP3 from a virtual host and deliver/forward it to another
virtual host. Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
