Booth) Subject: Fetchmail Dot rc File? Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does anyone out there have an example of a working .fetchmailrc file for 2.2.2? The example file that comes with 2.2.2, in /usr/local/share/doc/fetchmail/sample.rcfile, doesn't seem helpful. [I am a single user on a home machine....] I have also tried the following as my ~/.fetchmailrc file: server mail.interactive.net protocol pop3 username MYUSERNAME password MYPASSWORD but under this .fetchmailrc I get the following errors: .fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed: Unknown error: -1 .fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.interactive.net: Unknown error: -1 Any suggestions? ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher J.
