Dear friends,
since last Sunday I cannot fetch my mail any more.
These are the last messages appearing on /var/log/fetchmail:
fetchmail: 32 messages for wolfgang at pop3.ariannuccia.de (196062 octets). fetchmail: reading message wolfgang@mc01.omc.net:1 of 32 (5707 octets) (log message incomplete) fetchmail: Connection errors for this poll: name 0: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused. name 1: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused. fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from wolfgang@pop3.ariannuccia.de and delivering to SMTP host localhost fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
Obviously, fetchmail can read the messages at the provider's server; otherwise it would not see 32 messages waiting. But it cannot deliver them to me since localhost refuses connections. How can I make localhost accept them again? Hallo Wolfgang
Is your local mailserver running ? I don't know. How can I find it out?
Try one of these:
systemctl status postfix.service
systemctl status sendmail.service
Where do I find systemctl?
(I don't know what the default MTA in openSUSE is).
(I don't either. But what is an MTA?)
Apologizing for my ignorance, I thank you for your patience.
Wolfgang
Wait, Wolfang, is this a NEW machine or a recent upgrade? If this has been working for some time, and just failed, it might be a different problem than for a new install. Just type the commands that Per emailed, AS ROOT, it will find them. Pretty sure its the postfix one you want. MTA=Mail Tranfer Agent - the thing that transfers mail from the net to the local machine, and vise versa. Fetchmail is a MDA Mail Delivery Agent, and it can hand the mail either to postfix, (most often the case) or directly to your mbox (but most people aren't using mbox). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
