inbound traffic problem with hamm
i'm having some problems (well, COMPLETE problems) with incoming pop and
nntp. i'm running hamm right now, using smail/pine and inn/tin. here are
the pertinent crontabs i'm having trouble with (which were working
pre-upgrade)
10,20,30... * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail
10 * * * * /usr/bin/tin -q -r -S -n
in my .fetchmailrc i have "poll pop.primary.net protocol pop3 user jhonold
password PASSWORD fetchall". running fetchmail -v last night yielded
"unknown host debian -- you need a . in your hostname). debian is the name
of my localhost (not on a network). i used smailconfig to set my outgoing
message domain to bigfoot.com. the newer smail has unfortunately bound
both bigfoot.com and debian -- and uses debian as the first, i guess.
running fetchmail -v this morning said "smtp connect to debian failed -
connection refused". i tried telnetting to 127.0.0.1 smtp and i got the
connection refused as well.
with tin it says it's connecting, and that posting is okay. then it hangs.
i noticed after leaving my box on overnight my system was SLOW in the
morning. turns out i had about 10 stale tins running from my crontab -- i
killed them and it was fine. i can send and recieve email/news from
netscape, so i know that's not the problem. any ideas?
