Title: Fetchmail in e-smith 4.1
Post by: Tim Bynum on January 10, 2001, 01:43:22 AM

I am having problems configuring e-mail retrieval.  The panel configuration (e-smith-manager) does not seem to change the configuration.  I have all the e-mail that goes to my domain forwarded to a single e-mail account provided by my ISP.  I am using multidrop to retrieve the e-mail and forward it to my mail servr for distribution on my domain.  This worked fine under 4.01.  On version 4.1 it does not retrieve the mail.  When I launch it manually I get a message that says "no mailservers have been specified."  I am attempting to set up a custom template for this but I do not know how to configure it.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Yes!

The fetchmail web site FAQ list addresses these and other issues.  I'd recommend starting there.  http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html

I had problems recognizing some of the examples when looking between 1 and l and I in the examples, but I finally got it straight, and had no problems.
