As you can tell SMTP is working fine (Under SSMTP), so I have no idea why fetchmail isn't working.? I'm not sure what you mean here, but it looks to me like smtp is NOT working on lo interface. Can you telnet port 25 and ge tit to respond? ANope, even after setting lo (I had it commented out) it doesn't seem to want to respond. I'm using getmail for now, but I can't figure out how to get it to play nicely with procmail (I'm guessing this is another lo problem?)I've got getmail/procmail running, here is what I have in my getmailrc file that deals with procmail: [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/bin/procmail arguments = ("-f", "%(sender)", "-m", "/home/jeffd/.procmailrc") user = jeffd works like a charmThe only problem for me is that my loopback device doesn't seem to be working at all. My /etc/network/interfaces is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth1 mapping eth1 script /etc/network/autofind map 1UC68 home iface home inet dhcp wireless-essid 1UC68 wireless-mode Open wireless-key 0FB3D18E79 I don't see anything wrong with it, but it doesn't seem to be working. Apache2 is responding when I direct my browser to http://localhost though...Doesn't Apache2 use loopback as well?
That all looks right. I'm guessing that if you can browse on localhost, then your loopback is working. /sbin/ifconfig lo return anything?
/etc/hosts have: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ?not that the getmail/procmail needs the loopback though .. should work with out it .. getmail just passes the mail off to procmail and then it processees your mail, then it just depends on what you have in your .procmailrc
