I created a script to pop out to my external accounts and down load the mail to my e-smith server. Under 4.01 I installed Horde/Imp to view the mail in separate accounts.
The popping out to retrieve the mail works just fine.
However, following the e-smith rules for modifying templates I noticed a change since I installed Horde/Imp that the fetchmail is now a directory in:
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc inside the fetchmail directory are four files::
20disabled 50ETRN 50multi-drop template-begin
In /etc I modified fetchmail to do a test for pop mail. Then I modified
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/fetchmail/50multi-drop where I added my pop accounts.
In the e-smith web interface, under Email Retrieval, I set Email retrieval mode to
Multi-drop and setting times for occurences to pop.
When I click the save button. I check /etc/fetchmail and all the settings are back to the original install. (I lost my changes)
To get around the issue for now, I recreated the fetchmail with again, it now pops out as it should.
However I get e-mail messages roughly every 15 minutes:
/etc/fetchmail: -+#!/bin/sh: No such file or directory from the Cron Daemon.
Can anyone explain what I could be doing wrong. I also copied 50multi-drop to the templates directory as the /var/log/messages file indicates that is where it is reading from templates.
I have not tested this under 4.1 yet, I thought I should hold out.

Ok, I figured out all my problems but I was wondering if someone can answer one question. To make this work I modified /home/e-smith/services and added the line
fetchmail=enabled.
If this was not set previously, could it be because my e-smith is set up as a server and not a gateway server??
