A few months ago, I tried to set up mail via yast. (network services -> mta.) I got things wrong because I stopped getting mail other than local mail and all mail was returned to senders with message something like localhost could not accept mail, no such address. So using yast again, I selected no connection and this solved the problem. Looking through my filesystem today, I noticed that in fetchmailrc, it still had my old email address (which I can still get emails from). So I changed the entry to my new email address. Since then I've been getting fetchmail messages in my in box saying that Fetchmail could not get mail from "pecb@pop3.apm-internet.net" (which I have never had or used). I've grepped through my file system and I found a few references to my old email address but cannot find any reference to the above address. How did that get into fetchmail and other than uninstalling fetchmail, how do I cure this? Peter C

What i can never understand is why people with just there own mail accounts at there ISP's seem to have this need to setup things like fetchmail ect ... All you need is Kmail or if you dont like that then Mozilla mail works very well as well i cant say the same for thunderbird thou . I am not trying to be bad assed or anything it just never ceases to amaze me the trouble people get themselfs into trying to do something very simple like download and read theer mail and send replies ect ..

The reason I did this was because three people have separate login accounts on the same machine. I was trying to use filters to pass the emails to each account separately instead of all going to my kmail account. The login at the isp is the same for all emails but I wanted to separate them on download by filtering the "anything"@isp part. Peter C

I dont see that as a problem each login has there own home account therefore each login has there own set of kmail settings and will only down load the mails that are to that account i do that here already ..

It is in the best *nix tradition of doing just one thing, and doing it as best as possible. It integrates seamlesly with the local MTA, such as postfix, thus having avaliable the full armor of mail control available to an MTA. Integrates perfectly with filters such as amavis, spamassassin, etc. Integrates with the full armor of *nix mail tools, starting with "procmail", "mail", "mutt", "pine", "vacation", etc, etc. Produces verbose logs, that allows debuging or finding out what is wrong with an account, instead of popup "failed" windows. I will not use anything else, and I haven't, since I came over to linux from windows back in 98. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD6IDTtTMYHG2NR9URAkU/AJ465oksQQK0+cPgyfAcpJx5R5rCbQCfSaS5 V+fiDipURarSWXw/W2J3p20= =TBnP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

How about keeping this political crap off the list. It's factually incorrect, it's off topic, and it's offensive.

Have a look at file "/etc/fetchmailrc". If the file is empty, the system will not run fetchmail automatically. Also, do: chkconfig fetchmail and if it says "on", set it to "off". Otherwise, you can edit "/etc/fetchmailrc" to your liking.

As far as I remember fetchmail is automatically offered for setup after setting up a modem. It is the standard question at the end of the modem configuration and if you do not better you configure fetchmail.

Correct. If you do tell yast your account settings, it will set up fetchmail. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD52VftTMYHG2NR9URAvvxAJ45gGqplfJ/aF9xBJRSn/ahZk+4PgCfbOO8 8c1Os/6j7hIeyKRRYS5bfSY= =KPSF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
