Topic: Fetch mail error

[Anonymous]

I am getting an error - "/etc/fetchmail: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied". No mail is being collected. Any clues?

Try creating the directory/file from the console. Look at the permissions of fetchmail/qmail. I don't know how exactly to do this, but i think you have to grep ps qmail (try searching the forum for "grep" and you'll find a command that will help you further). And provide a bit more info about the machine.
