Re: fetchmail and pine, for a RHL user!
fetchmail resends the mail through the local MTA. if your local SMTP
server is broken(try mailing yourself) then the mail won't get delievered.
if it helps this is a sample of the fetchmailrc i use for my users:
--
set daemon 300
defaults
user MYUSERID is MYUSERID fetchmail-friends magic-numbers here
fetchall
poll mail.firetrail.com with protocol POP3:
no dns, aka bebo.firetrail.com 208.222.179.30
password MYPASSWORD;
--
nate
