The timeout can be altered withe the option smtp_receive_timeout in Exim's config file. However as this defaults to 5 minutes this should be long enough unless you've changed it. The "unqualified recipient rejected" is caused by mail being sent to fetchmail without a domain. To allow Exim to accept an unqualified recipient address add "receiver_unqualified_hosts = localhost" to Exim's config file. You may also want to add an alias for fetchmail to /etc/aliases as well, so you don't have to go looking for the mail. Then you will be able to read the error message that fetchmail is sending which should give more info about the "SMTP command timeout error". -- Jason Chambers (chambersj@chambersj.dyndns.org) Leicester, England Registered Linux User #271693 (http://counter.li.org)
