Problem with popsneaker preconnect

2001-01-25 02:54:05
Hi,

I am running fetchmail 5.6 on my diallup box at home, and dragging down
mail for 2 or 3 users. All is working well. I recently tried to marry
fetchmail to popsneaker (which works very well on it's own) and cannot
figure out where to put the popsneaker/preconnect line. Wherever I put
it, I seem to get a syntax error from fetchmail. As I understood it, as
I am logging onto the mail server as "myservername.fsnet.co.uk" I should
only have to run popsneaker once, right at the start ?

Please help a confused person!

Here's my command line:

fetchmail -f/etc/fetchmailrc -d90


Here's my /etc/fetchmailrc:

set postmaster "root"
set properties ""
set bouncemail
set syslog
poll pop.freeserve.net with proto POP3 envelope Envelope-to
aka myservername.fsnet.co.uk
user myservername.fsnet.co.uk there with password mypassword
to
tom     = tom 
dick    = dick 
harry   = harry 
here

and here's my popsneakerrc:

installpath /usr7/popsneaker
debuglevel 3
testmode false 
mailto root
logfile /var/adm/popsneaker.log
popserver pop.freeserve.net myservername.fsnet.co.uk mypassword 
mailbombs false
deny {^Subject: .*\$\$\$}
deny {^Subject: .*CREDIT}
rbl false
