Hi Guys,
I've been trying to set up an Email server following this =
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.index.html
article and have got as far as here =
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.3.0.html.
I'm running on Mac OS X 10.2.8 using fetchmail 6.2.0.
I have the following in /var/root/.fetchmailrc
set syslog
set daemon 60
poll mypophost.myisp.com.au proto pop3:
user "xxxx" with password "xxxx" is "rmartin" here
and wants smtpaddress mymachine.mydomain.com.au
and the following startup script in =
/Library/StartupItems/FetchMail/FetchMail
#!/bin/sh
.. /etc/rc.common
##
# Start mail server
##
if ["${MAILSERVER:=3D-NO-}" =3D "-YES-" ]; then
ConsoleMessage "Starting FetchMail process"
/usr/local/bin/fetchmail
fi
When I try to run the startup script manually using
sudo /Library/StartupItems/FetchMail/Fetchmail
I get the following error
Starting FetchMail process
fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified
I've searched using google and found posts with similar problems but =
nothing substantial enough to really go off. Most of the feedback seemed =
to indicated about the .fetchmailrc file not being found??
I should also point out that I'm not entirely confident that I have =
correct values for=20
mypophost (is this always just mail? how can I find out?),=20
myisp (is this the domain I own or the isp that provides my internet?),
mymachine and mydomain (I'm pretty sure I have these correct)
Thanks very much for any help you can give me and I hope I've provided =
sufficient information.
Regards,
----
