I am new to Linux and Fetchmail. I have Suse 9.1 installed and could sure use
some help getting Fetchmail going. I also have Procmail installed too.
In my home folder I have a file called .fetchmailrc that looks like
this:
poll pop6.sympatico.ca protocol POP3 user b1fusi29 password ******** mda
"/usr/bin/procmail -d robwalker"
When I am logged in as robwalker I execute the following:
fetchmail -v --keep -a >> /var/log/fetchmail 2>&1
I get the message 'permission denied'
When I am logged on as root I go to the robwalker home folder and
execute the same command I get returned to the console prompt
When I check the log file at /var/log/fetchmail is says:
'Fetchmail: no mail servers have been specified'
It is almost as if Fetchmail is not reading fetchmailrc
When I created fetchmailrc, I added a "." to the start of the file name
so it is ".fetchmailrc"
Is that correct? Any idea what is wrong? My mail server in fetchmailrc
is valid.
Thanks
