Hi,
I am very inexperienced in using Exim so please bear with me if these questions are banal. I use a diaI-up account with a local ISP but wish to use Exim (v. 2.05) as my primary MTA on my Debian GNU Linux. I have configured it to deliver mail both internally (attaching an "@localhost") for my local virtual domain and externally (attaching an "@???") for all outgoing deliveries so that the two domains are not confused during delivery. This works well. However, I have chosen to use Fetchmail to retrieve mail from my ISP's pop server. This does not. Here is a log of the events, using the command 'fetchmail':
WEASEL:~# fetchmail
fetchmail: 1 message for "user" at "pop.my.isp.com" (812 octets)
fetchmail: reading message 1 of 1(812 octets) (log message incomplete)
fetchmail: MDA exited abnormally or returned nonzero status
fetchmail: not flushed
WEASEL:~# mail
No mail for root
Here is my "~/.fetchmailcr" :
# Configuration created Thu Aug 12 01:12:03 1999 by fetchmailconf
set logfile "/root/fetchm.log"
set postmaster "postmaster"
poll MAILSERVER via "pop.my.isp.com"
with proto POP3 timeout 120 and options no dns
user "myMAILSERVER username" there with password "<password>" is root here options fetchall no rewrite stripcr warnings 3600
mda "'exim'"
Having been trough every type of configuration I can think of I am now at a loss and a standstill regarding this. If there is some out there who can help by providing some more specific info regarding using these two applications together I would truly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brian.
