Re: [fetchmail]Help with fetchmail.

I am having a problem with fetchmail.  Here is my
specs:

Debian Linus 2.4.17
Fetchmail 5.9.11-5 Debian (to my knowlege the latest
version)
The same error on several servers with different
messages
Sendmail 8.12.3-4 Debian

<---SNIP--->

Now here is my problem.  I do not get mail because it
errors on each server.  Here is the error messages out
of the syslog file after fetchmail has run:

May 19 21:05:01 schserv sm-msp-queue[10319]:
STARTTLS=client, error: load verify locs
/etc/ssl/certs/, /etc/mail/ssl/sendmail-server.crt
failed: 0

You've got TLS configured but you've not configured any certificates. Fix your sendmail configuration.

May 19 21:05:48 schserv fetchmail[475]: awakened by
User defined signal 1
May 19 21:05:48 schserv fetchmail[475]: POP3

The good news is that your problem has nothing to do with fetchmail, and probably nothing to do with sendmail either. It does however have a lot to do with your DNS configuration.

It appears you can't resolve the mail server names to addresses. Try doing a "host coconutisland.com".

Once you fix DNS then everything else should be fine.


   Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
       me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
