That sounds pretty logical. So I inserted this line in /etc/fetchmailrc: mda "/usr/bin/procmail" ;
Then I dropped the fetchmail daemon. But restarting it failed with the following error message: Starting fetchmailfetchmail:/etc/fetchmailrc:8: syntax error at mda startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/bin/fetchmail: 5
Obviously, configuring /etc/fetchmailrc is much more difficult than may result from reading the fetchmail(1) manual page.
there is an app to help you configure fetchmail, fetchmailconf. It is a tlc script to assist you getting the proper recipe setup. It is important *where* you added mda .... It needs to be in the recipe for *each* server you poll I personally perfer delivering to postfix so I see different logs, mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' here is my recipe for fetchmail for a gmail account poll imap.gmail.com tracepolls with proto IMAP timeout 45 user 'User@gmail.com' there with password '**>>**>>**>>**>>' is 'User' here options fetchall stripcr ssl sslcertck mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' (User changed to protect the guilty). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
