https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231042 ------- Comment #5 from werner@novell.com 2007-02-09 09:28 MST ------- I've written poll.tcpip explicity for ISDN dialup to be able to use fetchmail (now about 10 years ago) and later on to use uucp over tcpip or a uucp with a pipe over ssh (nowadays). It was never written for full time connection, for this I'd prefere a fetchmail daemon instead of a oneshot as you've already mentioned. The problem which may hapen if fetchmail or uucp will be called inb oneshot after submitting the mails from the sendmail/postfix queue(s) are simple mail loops which is that a mail send to the relay will be fetch with fetchmail or uucp a second time if and only if the configuration of the MTA and/or of the MUA are broken. Clearly this depands on the speed of the remote mail relay or smart host. For current sendmail the feature `accept_unresolvable_domains' and also the feature `accept_unqualified_senders' together with `nocanonify' if the HACK(`nodns') was choosen (OK, this hack was written by me and is not sendmail a standard). This can be enabled in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail by setting NODNS to "yes" ... beside DIALUP=yes and SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE=yes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
