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
fetchmail: mail.marigoldtech.com. client/server synchronization error
fetchmail: while fetching from mail.marigoldtech.com
any ideas?

My pop server also using qmail + vpopmail + 200 virtual servers,
and fetchmail working without problem.
I think you have to supply user name with domain name.
this is from my .fetchmailrc:
user "silver(_at_)domain(_dot_)org" there with password "xxxx" is silver here
That is exactly what it was! Thanks to both of you for your advice.
