All,
thanks for the various suggestions, I think this is closer to
working, but I'm still getting hung up on the SMTP timeout..
Some info
- FreeBSD 3.3
- Fetchmail (most current version, from 3.3 port)
Setup:
My machine is connected to an ISP via cable. (@HOME)
mail server = "mail"
POP3 / SMTP
I'm trying to use fetchmail / sendmail, with all my POP mail coming
to 1 user under FreeBSD.
Problem:
When testing fetchmail from fetchmailconf, the app hangs for a few
minutes, and then I get the following diagnostic info.
...25 mails queued for fjb
..
.. info on each mail message queued
fetchmail: pop3< +OK 3097 octets
reading message 1 of 25 (3097) octets
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: pop3> QUIT/r
fetchmail: pop3<
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error during fetch
fetchmail: query status=10
My RC file.
set postmaster fjb
set bouncemail
set properties ""
set daemon 10
pop mail via "mail"
with proto pop3
user "myusername" there with password "mypw" is fjb here
Other info:
I'm not sendmail literate, but I followed the testing of SM in the
complete FreeBSD, and I'm able to successfully issue the cmds:
echo "testing" | mail -v -s "test" fjb@localhost
echo "testing" | mail -v -s "test" fjbruening@home.com (my ISP)
Both of these get sent successfully...
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm getting really tired of booting into
windows to send mail to debug this ... :)
thanks in advance!
Regards
Francis Bruening
