Hi,
I recently moved to a new administrative domain and have some
problems with fetching mails, which I can't explain myself since
- the same setup worked before and
- on two different machines, the behavior is different.
Ok, I use fetchmail plus procmail, to split the fetched emails
into separate local spool files.
Now, the spec. of my fetchmailrc looks as
poll imap.some.where with proto IMAP \
user 'user1' there is 'user2' here <MDASPEC> options keep fetchall ssl
^^^^^^^^^^
The part that seems responsible for the undesirable behavior is the
MDA-specification. I tried a couple of guesses wich seemed plausible to
me, like
1) <MDASPEC> = and wants mda "/usr/bin/procmail"
That fetches the emails from the server, but the spooled
emails are not appropriately recognized afterwards
by my email client tool (which is gnus.)
2) <MDASPEC> = empty (i.e., no specification of the mda)
That works ok at my laptop, however, at my
desktop it fails (both Linux machines, namely fedora, resp. red hat linux)
yielding:
SMTP connect to local host failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching mails from
imap.some.where
fetchmail: query status=10 (SMTP)
3) <MDASPEC> = some other choices like eg. /usr/sbin/sendmail
similarly fail
Any suggestions what the reason should be or where I should look
to repair that?
thanks, Martin
