exim is saying it couldn't verify who deshmukh@localhost is.
thanx stephen.
why does exim look for deshmukh@loaclhost? why not sandip@localhost??
how do i make exim look for sandip@localhost and *not* deshmukh@localhost?
how do i tell exim that if it doesnt find someone@localhost, it should
deliver the message to sandip@localhost?
This means
that since you don't have a user account named 'deshmukh' (appears to be
sandip, am I right?)
yes - you are right.
If so, add an entry to /etc/aliases like 'deshmukh: sandip'
am doing this as stop gap arrangement till my questions above are answered.
Then fix your .fetchmailrc
HOW? .fetchmailrc sits in /home/sandip directory and seems to be doing
its job!
and
remove the no longer needed line from /etc/aliases.
sure i will!
HTH,
Steve
thanx again
- sandip
