Hi,
I am trying to use fetchmail to grab mail off of a vpopmail server. Vpopmail
(inter7.com/vpopmail) allows you to manage multiple email domains using a
database to store users/domains, etc. However, since my user and domain
are both virtual (vs a real unix shell acct, etc) fetchmail can't seem to
do it's job.
Hopefully I'm just using it incorrectly, but i don't htink so. Here is the
current .fetchmailrc line I'm using:
poll mail.marigoldtech.com port 12345 via localhost with proto pop3:
user "user" pass "pass" fetchall expunge 10 preconnect "ssh -C -l user -f
x.x.x.x -L 12345:x.x.x.x:110 sleep 5"
ssh can connect successfully, but then it times out:
fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds waiting to connect to server
mail.marigoldtech.com.
fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from mail.marigoldtech.com
any ideas?
I assume that this isn't your actual .fetchmailrc file - you did use
appropriate user and pass settings, I hope!
It is also unlikely to have anything to do with virtual users. What does
"fetchmail -v -v" say? (You may need to create fetchmailrc - no leading . -
to be able to run fetchmail from the command line)
