resending message in hope of a response. Thanks!
Dear Friends,
I am new to fetchmail and fairly new to Linux. I would appreciate any
help getting my customer's email server working properly. Here is the
situation:
a.. Customer wants to use Cyrus IMAP to pull down email from ISP
server and keep all emails
b.. I have installed Cyrus IMAP and can see my folders on Outlook from
a remote location (home)
c.. sendmail seems to be configured properly
d.. I have configured .fetchmailrc and it seems to connect to my email
at the ISP
e.. However, it does not pull down the emails (new or old) into my
IMAP inbox.
f.. I am working with RedHat 9a
g.. Using lmtp, but not sure how to resolve this "Socket-Fehler"
(socket error)
cyrus.conf says:
# at least one LMTP is required for delivery
# lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
Here is my .fetchmailrc file:
[root(_at_)ServerCharlie root]# vi .fetchmailrc
set daemon 20
set postmaster dbrown
set logfile ./.fetchmail.log
poll post.strato.de with proto auto user "myusername" with pass
mypassword is "dbrown" --keep --all here forcecr smtpaddress localhost and
wants mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
Here is a sample result from .fetchmail.log:
fetchmail: fetchmail 6.2.0 Dämon wird gestartet
fetchmail: Zeitüberschreitung nach 300 Sekunden beim Warten auf
Verbindung mit erver post.strato.de.
fetchmail: Socket-Fehler beim Abholen von post.strato.de
fetchmail: 672 Nachrichten (672 gesehen) für
dbrown(_at_)b-e-s-t-group(_dot_)com
bei post.trato.de (4370613 Oktetts).
fetchmail: Nachricht dbrown(_at_)b-e-s-t-group(_dot_)com@post.strato.de:1
(4757
Oktetts) wird ausgelassen nicht geflusht
fetchmail: Nachricht dbrown(_at_)b-e-s-t-group(_dot_)com@post.strato.de:2
(8526
Oktetts) wird ausgelassen nicht geflusht
fetchmail: Nachricht dbrown(_at_)b-e-s-t-group(_dot_)com@post.strato.de:3

fetchmail: Nachricht dbrown(_at_)b-e-s-t-group(_dot_)com@post.strato.de:4
(2803
Oktetts) wird ausgelassen nicht geflusht
The issue seems to be related to the mda and the syntax of the last line
of .fetchmailrc, and perhaps the relationship between sendmail and
fetchmail. Thanks in advance for any help you might offer!

David
