Hi,
Anyone get fetchmail working? When I run fetmail, I got the
following error:
skipping poll of e*.com, eth0/10.1.2.8 IP address excluded
My machine(10.1.2.9) is connected via another Linux box (10.1.2.8)
which acts as a gateway. Another problem is that fetchmail should
poll mail.e*.com, not e*.com. How do I configure this?
Thanks,
-mel

I'm running RedHat 7.2. It's installed and running. I can access my
ISP (mindspring) and the net. I'm trying to it up so I can use
sendmail/fetchmail to access my POP3 account on my ISP. When I run
fetchmail it seems to work fine but nothing appears in
/var/spool/mail/user_name. When I run fetchmail -I get the following.
(xxx.xxx is my username on the ISP)
#} fetchmail -d0
7 messages for xxx.xxx at mail.mindspring.com (130662 octets).
reading message 1 of 7 (1020 octets) . not flushed
reading message 2 of 7 (6848 octets) ...... not flushed
reading message 3 of 7 (6809 octets) ...... not flushed
reading message 4 of 7 (2545 octets) .. not flushed
reading message 5 of 7 (17567 octets) ................. not flushed
reading message 6 of 7 (41087 octets)
........................................ not flushed
reading message 7 of 7 (54786 octets)
..................................................... not flushed
So it seems to be recognizing mail on the server and reading the mail.
It's not removing it from the server because I've specified not to until
I get this working. My .fetchmail.rc looks like this: (xxx.xxx is my
user name on the ISP and yyyyyy is my password there and localname is my
Linux user name)
# Configuration created Tue Apr 9 14:39:06 2002 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "Postmaster"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll mail.mindspring.com with proto POP3 and options no dns
localdomains localdomain
user 'xxx.xxx' there with password 'yyyyyyy' is 'localname' here options
keep fetchall
I've run a network sniffer and the mail is being sent from the ISP to my
Linux box. But it's not being put in the normal mail file
/var/spool/mail/my_name. Local mail to root shows up in
/var/spool/mail/root. I have something configured wrong but I don't
know what it is.
Any ideas?
