Re: [fetchmail]Fetchmailconf problem

Well, found the problem. Fetchmail on x86_64 is built without res_search
because its unable to find res_search() in -lresolv, it should be using
__res_search() on Mandriva and alike, so just a broken configure script
really. Due to this, fetchmail --configdump omits the dns option which
makes the fetchmailconf script barf. I've made a patch for the mdk
packages to solve this.

some interesting information. 

The new pre versions does not function properly on either a x86 or 86_64
machine. On x86_64 it returns: 

Fields don't match what fetchmailconf expected:
Not matched in class `Server' signature: ['dns']

With the same config file on a x86 machine the following is returned:

Fields don't match what fetchmailconf expected:
Not matched in class `Server' signature: ['service']
Not matched in dictionary keys: ['port']

Using 6.2.5 however works fine on the x86 machine, not on x86_64. All of
these tests have been done with the same config file:

# Configuration created Mon Jan 19 17:22:55 2004 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "quadfour"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 300

defaults
smtpaddress "localhost"

poll mail.iinet.net.au with proto POP3
       user 'quadfour' there with password 'removed' is 'quadfour' here
options fetchall

Sorry, normally lists would set the reply to field.

No, they wouldn't. It's your task to click/hit the "list reply" or
"group reply" or "reply to all" button/key.

That command is slightly incorrect,

My apologies.

think you may have meant "fetchmail
-V 2>&1 | head -n 3" which returns the following:

This is fetchmail release 6.2.5+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS
Fallback MDA: (none)
Linux natalie 2.6.11-6mdk #3 Thu Jun 9 23:12:06 WST 2005 x86_64 AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ unknown GNU/Linux

Nothing obvious to me. Could you try the 6.2.6-pre version from
<http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1824> and
let me know if your problems are fixed in the newer version? I'd rather
fix the newer code than the old stuff.

Thanks.

Regards,
