The result is that messages aren't delivered. Uh, no, if you'll note from the direction of the arrows (and the OP's later message where he telnet's to the POPd), the error about the disk file is coming from the POP server, and has nothing to do with the local MTA or fetchmail itself. Now... why the remote might be having problems opening a disk file, I have no idea, but the problem isn't on the local end. -- Marc Wilson | Today, THREE WINOS from DETROIT sold me a framed msw@cox.net | photo of TAB HUNTER before his MAKEOVER!
