Just a quick question about fetchmail configuration that is done as part of the Mail Transfer Agent conf.
On which version?
Still SuSE 8.2 [snip]
I know I seem to remember setting it up manually, i.e. getting the fetchmail startup script from the docs, editting a bit as it seemed older than the present startup scheme (i.e I am using 8.2), setting it to use /etc/fetchmailrc, etc. It runs as root (/etc/fetchmailrc is 600 root.root). The time interval is set by the startup script.
Unless you give fetchmail an explicit command to use another MDA, it will use your postfix. It works well here. BTW, you can only (at least in 8.2) set up a basic set and parameters for fetchmail via Yast. You need toread the docs, but you can add options manually to /etc/fetchmailrc. One I needed to add to a few is ssl. HTH.
My /etc/fetchmailrc file only has a comment in it at the moment, which is OK since I haven't set it up yet. You don't happen to know where the startup script is? I had a look in /etc/rc.d dirs but there doesn't seem to be any fetchmail scripts. Thanks again, Tim
