Greetings All,
I'm new here, as well as to Linux, so
please bear with me if I say something stupid.
I've read the FAQs, and didn't see an answer to my problem.
If it *is* in there, just point it out to me, please.
Basically, I'm running fetchmail as a daemon,
using it to check a number of accounts.
I've listed them in succession in the .fetchmailrc
that resides in /root/, in the following format -
poll MAIL_SERVER
user 'username'
pass 'password'
is 'local user'
keep
no fetchall
and repeated a *number* of times to list all accounts.
The problem comes from the fact that I have separated all the
entries with # delimiters to help separate them for the purpose of editing.
#
#USER1
poll MAIL_SERVER
user 'username'
pass 'password'
is 'local user'
keep
no fetchall
#USER1
#
#USER2
poll MAIL_SERVER
user 'username'
pass 'password'
is 'local user'
keep
no fetchall
#USER2
#
#
and so on...
The problem is that fetchmail doesn't seem to
like this, or recognize that the #s are delimiters.
I get parse errors with or without the "USER1" entries.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Weyland
