Re: Fetchmail doesn't seem to save mail locally

smtp.stanford.edu is my smtp server; my server for incoming mail is 
pravens.pobox.stanford.edu, which resolves to pobox5.stanford.edu. I thought 
that the message meant that fetchmail read one message on the 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.

Rob
