[12-17-19 15:37]: Not receiving mail any more since Thursday, 12 December, I found out that the mail is still fetched from the provider's server and destroyed there, but no more put on /var/spool/mail/<user>. No idea where it finally arrives, probably on /dev/null. I do not know which patch I have installed on last Thursday, but I'm convinces it is a patch, because I observe the error on all three of my computers, which I updated all at the same time, unfortunately.
For getting mail again, I do no rely on the fetchmail daemon any more, which has become a trap, but I use the direct POP3 mail server access of Firefox. It's a pity.
fwiw: I constantly monitor fetchmail logs
head ~/.fetchmailrc
# Configuration created Sun Dec 28 14:56:16 2003 by fetchmailconf set logfile "fetchmail.log" #set syslog set postmaster "XxXx" set no bouncemail set no spambounce # set properties "v" set daemon 300 set properties "silent"
I tried that, but the logfile remains empty, of course. Thank you, anyway. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
