Hello
When the machine is connected to the campus network, fetchmail works fine.
It retrieves the messages without any problem.
I have a fixed ip address when connected to the network.
When dialing in using ppp, I get dynamically anoter address...
When stopping the network (/etc/init.d/network stop) and plugging in a
pcmcia modem card and logging in using kppp, it says:
(there are 107 seen messages and 1 new)
reading message 108 of 108 (... octets)
fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds waiting for listener to respond.
fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from
anotherhost.uia.ac.be
fetchmaill: Query status=7 (ERROR)
I've modified .fetchmailrc according to FAQ G10 using the smtpaddres
set postmaster "USER"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll anotherhost.uia.ac.be
user 'ANOTHERUSER' there with password 'xxxxx' is USER here
options keep smtpaddress localhost
Is there anything else that has to be done to get fetchmail working in
this "hybrid" situation?
Thanks!
Stefan Becuwe
