Re: How to access mailserver



Try the "-v" option to fetchmail. You should be able to see the
progress of the IMAP? and SMTP connections. You may need something like
"local_domains = localhost" in your exim.conf file. Another option is
to skip exim and add "mda /usr/bin/procmail" to your .fetchmailrc and
bypass the SMTP connection.

This kind of question should probably go on debian-user in the future.
