Problems with fetchmail.. can anyone help?
I am trying to get my mail from a remote server rather than through
Netscape Mail. I have the fetchmail package installed, but it can't seem
to get mail from my server. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong?
(The username and mail server are correct, by the way)...
[shadow@shadow ~] fetchmail -u mcmi0037 mcmi0037.email.umn.edu
Enter password for mcmi0037@mcmi0037.email.umn.edu:
fetchmail: No mail for mcmi0037 at mcmi0037.email.umn.edu
[shadow@shadow ~] fetchmail -u mcmi0037 mcmi0037.email.umn.edu
Enter password for mcmi0037@mcmi0037.email.umn.edu:
fetchmail: No mail for mcmi0037 at mcmi0037.email.umn.edu
[shadow@shadow ~] fetchmail -u mcmi0037 mcmi0037.email.umn.edu
Enter password for mcmi0037@mcmi0037.email.umn.edu:
1 message for mcmi0037 at mcmi0037.email.umn.edu (645 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (638 header octets) fetchmail: SMTP listener
doesn't like recipient address `shadow@localhost'
fetchmail: can't even send to shadow!
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from
mcmi0037.email.umn.edu
fetchmail: Query status=10
Thanks in advance for any help...
