fetchmail problem
Hoping someone might know the answer to this...
Last week I upgraded my 2.0 debian system up to 2.1. fetchmail is now
barfing. The output I get is:
X message(s) for jgreshes at pop3.netaxs.com (X octets)
reading message 1 of X (X octets) fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like
recipient address 'jgreshes@localhost'
fetchmail: can't even send to jgreshes!
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from pop3.netaxs.com
fetchamil: Query status=10
where X is whatever number of messages and octets apply at the moment.
/var/log/smail/logfile reads:

# ----------Begin-----------
# You really should know what you do here!
#WARNING: You will have to add a correct local definition for
# smtp_remote_allow if you have many local networks, or unset it
# if you wish to disable this feature (default).
#WARNING: The current implementation of this feature blocks
# relay from incoming SMTP to *any* outgoing transport. This
# means that even UUCP gateways require explicit permission if
# this feature is enabled.
# it's off by default, so all hosts can relay mails over this host.
# example to switch it on, and allow relay from localnet hosts:
# normally it's not wrong to turn this on ...
#smtp_remote_allow=localnet
# This flag tells smail to verify the hostnames given in
# HELO or EHLO SMTP commands.
# it's off by default
# example to switch it on:
#+smtp_hello_verify
# more helo/ehlo verify switches, see manpages for details
#smtp_hello_verify_literal
#smtp_hello_verify_ptr
# A colon-separated list of host IP patterns that are
# allowed to deliver mail even though they have broken
# DNS or give incorrect or invalid HELO or EHLO SMTP
# greetings.
# it's off by default, which mean smtp_hello_broken_allow=*
# example to switch it on:
#smtp_hello_broken_allow=192.168.100.*
# Vixie / MAPS RBL (http://maps.vix.com/rbl)
# switch to turn on the Mail Abuse Protection System (MAPS)
# it's off by default
# example to switch it on:
#+vixie_rbl
#vixie_rbl_force_allow="192.168.100.10:[your local ip#]"
# Do not do dns lookups for MAIL FROM: address
# This is debian-Smail only feature... it WILL BE DELETED in the future
# It's only use is for local systems with no working dns System
# It's off by default
# example to switch it on:
#+smtp_sender_verify
My hostname is trainspotting
My /etc/host.conf is:
order hosts,bind
multi on
nospoof on
alert on
My /etc/resolv.conf is:
domain netaxs.com
nameserver 207.8.186.1
nameserver 207.8.186.2
My .fetchmailrc is:
poll pop3.netaxs.com with proto pop3
user jgreshes
pass <PASSWORD>
fetchall
Can't figure out what the problem is, I haven't changed any of the config
files, with the only change being the 2.0 to 2.1 switch.
Any suggestions, pretty please?
Jason
