Hello,
I've consulted the archives of question as well as the FAQ and i've not
found how to solve my problem, here
is it:
I'm running on a pentium 266, with 32 MB Ram, 32 MB swap, 21 G HDD, with
an olitec speedcom 2000
modem
I'm using mandrake 6.1 package, with an upgrade to the kernel 2.2.16
(but the problem exist also before the
kernel upgrade)
The problem i've is the following, fetchmail seems work well as the
fetchmail -v and fetchmail -V output can
confirm :
but when i try to read my message, by issuing the command fetchmail -v
(logs below), the program stay
locked at the reading step, without modem activity (really no activity
since my pppd daemon inetrrupt the
connection after the idle time!)
The problem is partially solved if i specify an mda (like mda 'procmail'
or mda 'sendmail user' ) but then all
the mails are directed into a single file that is /var/spool/mail/root
!! Moreover the header lines of the mails
seems to be to confusing for my mail reader (mail, xmail, netscape...)
and the reader is not able to distinguish
between the different mail included into the /var/spool/mail/root file
Specifying the host by smpthost option line do nothing on that problem
So i'm quiet confused
Can anybody ahelp me???
Is it problem with my mail delivery agent or my configuration
(especially SMTP problems??)
THANKS
