Fetchmail and IPChains

2001-02-11 11:24:07
Hello,

I have been having a problem with fetchmail since I installed IPChains
on my Linux Mandrake 7.2 system.  Everything else works fine except for
fetchmail.  Netscape messenger handles both inbound and outbound mail
just fine.  With pine I can only send mail but not receive any, since
fetchmail isn't working.  I haven't blocked port 25 with IPChains.  As a
matter of fact I haven't specified anything for port 25, which I assume
is causing the problem.  But the output below indicates to me that
everything is working through this port.
Below I attached the output of the command,

fetchmail -vc

fetchmail: 5.5.2 querying POP6.sympatico.ca (protocol POP3) at Sun, 11

Could anyone please help me out?  Thank you.
