I run fetchmail on a seperate machine, a mail hub, so this isn't going to be an issue for me until that gets upgraded.
But here are my thoughts.
Unlike my Fedora box, openSuse seems to want you to use Postix or ... what is it, 'exim'?
Check if postfix service is running:
sudo systemctl status postfix.service
Try cloning that, but make it dependent on Postfix - obviously:-)
I have postfix running, by following the instructions posted earlier. It's fetchmail that I need to run, in order to get my mail from my ISP's POP server.
Yes, I understand that. If you don't want to run fetchmail from CRON or something then what I'm suggesting is that you use the way Postfix is started under SystemD to create the necessary entry to run Fetchmail. Create a clone: copy the Postfix SystemD entry to one named fetchmail.service (or whatever is suitable) and edit its contents to start up fetchmail instead of postfix. Fetchmail will, of course, be dependent on Postfix already have started, which will in turn be dependent on networking already have started, and so on. -- "If I must write the truth, I am disposed to avoid every assembly of bishops; for of no synod have I seen a profitable end, but rather an addition to than a diminution of evils; for the love of strife and the thirst for superiority are beyond the power of words to express." -- Father Gregory Nazianzen, 381 AD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
