Does anyone have a copy of .fetchmailrc they can send me? I'm having problems figuring out how to get fetchmail to connect with ssh to my mailhost. Specifically I'm using the example at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html#K3 to create my file, but it keeps saying bad forwarding specifciation on the port specified. Well according to the documentation there 1234 is pretty much arbitrary, but apparently it isn't that arbitrary! :) I've tried using 22 which is what ssh runs on, but with the same error. I've changed the primary mailhost in the preconnect line to localhost, with the same error. Thanks in advance for any help!
