retrieve & forward

2001-02-04 14:56:48
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
