Re: fetchmail / s10/10.0.2.15
I tried changing to 'fetchmail --quit' but got an error and fetchmail
wouldn't work. So I changed the daemon number to 3 seconds. I still get
nothing. I see nothing in my "/var/spool/mail/fkent" permisions are:
-rw-rw---- 1 fkent mail
It seems to me if I use the -v flag such as
"fetchmail -v mail.inebraska.com" I should at least see something (the man
page says it writes to stderr) at the command line. I also tried
"fetchmail -k mail.inebraska.com" to pull the mail off the server but it
doesn't. The mail is still there. So I don't know. Maybe if I had another
1000 lines of man page I could figure this fetchmail stuff out:)
Thanks,
kent
