Topic: sme6b3 and fetchmail

[Ed]

has anyone gotten the fetchmail contrib (Mail users) to work with sme 6beta3?

I tried installing the rpm but got a lot of errors.

Hello Ed

I run SME 6beta3 with fetchmail with no problems!

Since 5.6 I installed all versions in the same manner like the following article shows:

<<
If you for example would like to retrieve emails from some external POP3 accounts and drop them in individual user mailboxes then fetchmail is just the solution for you.

 

SME 5.6

[root@e-smith ]# rpm -Uvh http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/sme-upgppp-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

[root@e-smith ]# rpm -Uvh http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/sme-fetchmail-1.0-2.noarch.rpm

 

From the e-smith manager in the "E-mail retrival" set the retrival mode to "multi-drop". Make sure to change the secondary mail server to a valid address (suggestion: type your own host name). Configure the check interval and then go to the "Mail Users" section in the server manager main menu. Choose "Individual mailbox" and configure the POP3 name, username and password.

If you do not want to use the Multi-Drop feature, but only want to fetch mail to your users from e.g. POP3 accounts, then can clear the content of the following template file created by the above installation.

[root@e-smith ]# echo -n "" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/fetchmail/50multi-drop

[root@e-smith ]# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/fetchmail

 

This way you avoid having your log files filled up with POP3 errors

After installation of the fetchmail rpm's, I did:

>/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
>/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

May be, it will help you!
