Hello all
I am no Linux expert, so please have some compassion for me!
I have been running an SME box as a mail server for a few years now without hitch. The problem is that it works so well that I never have to play with it, which means I can't fix it when it breaks!
Basically, I am running SME 7.3 with smeserver-fetchmail to fetch pop3 mail from other ISP's and distributing it to local accounts.
SME has now stopped fetching mail from one of the ISP's, but is still fetching from two others. So SME is not the problem.
Every now and then I force mail retrieval by logging in as root and typing /etc/startmail
I also keep an eye on things by running tail -f /var/log/qmail/current .
What I want is a more verbose response to the /etc/startmail or /etc/fetchmail command.
If I use /etc/fetchmail -v , nothing happens and the server tries to fetch mail as per normal, but I cannot see what it is trying to do, or where its getting stuck.
Does anyone feel like enlightening a noob?
