Does this mean /var/spool/mail/... ?

Fetchmail complained about these two options (parse error),
so I disabled them. Bouncemail doesn't even seem to be available in my
fetchmailrc template file. What version of fetchmail do you have?
Mine is 4.6.4-1.1.

I envy you... :)
Now have a look at my fetchmailrc:
set postmaster "<local_username>"
#set bouncemail
#set properties ""
poll <my_pop3_server> with proto pop3
user <userid> there with password <very_secret>
is <local_username> here
warnings 3600
antispam 571 550 501 554
This looks like it should work, don't you think? Instead I always get
an "SMTP Transaction error". It reads the first incoming message for a
few seconds, then it exits with "connection failed" and I tried it over
and over again...
Do I really need 'set bouncemail' and 'set properties ""'?
Let me get the following clear: I am not having X yet, fetchmailconfig
doesn't work for me, so I set up ~/.fetchmailrc by myself.
For the time being all I want is to have mail delivered anywhere, so
I am not even talking about any MUA, be it mutt, elm, mozilla or
whatever. This will be my next big problem ;)
Do you invoke fetchmail via your MUA?
Sorry for my confused asking, but there are just too many problems
all at once. I never thought this would become so complicated...
Thanks in advance,
