Title: fetchmail stopped collecting mail
Post by: Fizzer on April 30, 2003, 02:09:19 PM

Hi,

All of a sudden fetchmail stopped collecting my mail. Running /etc/fetchmail manually still collects the mail, so I solved the problem by creating a cron job.

However, this is not the way it should be. Any suggestions where I should start looking?

thanks.

a cron job is how it does work normally,
but is called by /etc/startmail

i disable cron and use set daemon 120 in /etc/fetchmail


# /etc/fetchmail
# multi-drop configuration; fetchmail retrieves all mail from a remote POP mailbox:

/usr/bin/fetchmail --syslog  --fetchmailrc - <
set postmaster "postmaster"
set bouncemail
set daemon 120
set properties ""
