Re: Fetchmail doesn't seem to save mail locally

Sorry, I was really confused; now I've got it all straightened out, I set
the smtp server to be localhost and things work great now. Thanks for the 
help.

incoming server; but did it download it, and if so, where did it put it?
I'm not trying to send any mail with fetchmail, just receive it. Do you
mean that fetchmail thinks that smtp.stanford.edu is my incoming mail
server?

Hi,
I'm using fetchmail-5.6.0 (self-compiled, with "./configure
--with-kerberos=/usr/athena"), and using kpop to check my mail.
Fetchmail seems to be able check for messages :


[praveens(_at_)praveen fetchmail-5.6.0]$ /usr/local/bin/fetchmail
1 message for praveens at pobox5.stanford.edu (1725 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (1725 octets) . flushed

But nothing appears in /var/spool/mail/praveens (my username is
praveens); is
there somewhere else I should be looking? Also, could you cc me since
i'm not
on the list?

Have you tried looking at the logs for your mail server
(smtp.stanford.edu) to see what happens?  Fetchmail has done it's work
and delivered it, hence the flushed message.
