few days ago I install SuSE-7, due to my small harddrive space I don't install X-windows. I'm complete newbie and I start journey in Linux world with SuSE. I do hope, I find help to learn SuSE. My problem is to get email from my ISP server. I use yast2 to configure wvdial. wvdial works well. I'm able to send email but problem to received. Here I use fetchmail . I read manpage of fetchmail. after got internet connection I use this command in my /home/partha , but fetchmail give me error, I don't understand what's happen.please help me to solve this problem.
fetchmail -K pop.spnetctg.com enter password of partha@pop.spnetctg.com : [ i enter password here ] fetchmail: IMAP connection to pop.spnetctg.com failed: Connection refused 23 message for partha at pop.spnetctg.com (74621 octets) reading message 1 of 23 (3797 octets) .... fetchmail : SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transcation error while fetching from pop.spnetctg.com fetchmail : Query status = 10 (smtp)
FYI, I only edit /etc/resolv.conf , no other files. DO I NEED TO EDIT MORE FILE, WHICH FILES AND HOW.

It seems that you don't have MDA installed to listen on the SMTP port to deliver th mail locally. Install sendmail (series n) and configure it using YaST. Alternatively, you can also install procmail (series n) and configure fetchmail to use it as a mda by adding "mda '/usr/bin/procmail -d partha'" to the poll rule of the fetchmail config (read procmail's man page).

Did you install sendmail (or qmail)? Fetchmail relies on sendmail to deliver retrieved mail to the SMTP port on the localhost. If sendmail hasn't been installed, fetchmail will fail with an error similar to yours. Regards, --Kevin On Sat, 13 Jan 2001, New Star Service Company wrote:

If you do not have Sendmail installed, install Postfix. The O'Reilly book on Sendmail is close to 1000 pages. Postfix is much simpler to configure. Join the e-mail list, they are a very helpful community. Qmail is another good replacement for Sendmail. Two disadvantages: its log entries are cryptic for normal delivery and it is not included on SuSE and so every time you time install some package that needs mail service, there is an unsatisfied dependency.
