I'm still having trouble with fetchmail. It fetches mail from five different POP3 accounts and drops in in my /var/mail/hans. Some mails are duplicated. Sometimes it would be all the mail in one box, sometimes a few here and there. I've verified that the mails aren't on the servers in duplicate, and don't get downloaded twice either. It just somehow doubles when being delivered.
Any clues as to why this is happening? man fetchmail wasn't a lot of help, google mostly gave me links to fetchmail source (?)
And having fetchmail read a mail 'left on the server' does not make that email a duplicate on the server. It just means that fetchmail will continue to read it forever since it doesn't work right. I read his post correctly. (but you just keep checking up on all of us to make sure we are with the program)
Are you perchance using the 'keep' function to keep mail on the server? I have found that doesn't work in fetchmail.
From the first quote above: I've verified that the mails aren't on the servers in duplicate, and don't get downloaded twice either.
He is probably routing thru procmail and has a recipe action causing this. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
