It looks (to me) like it is returning 2 messages, which is the number of messages in my mailbox. But...when I type "mail" I get "no mail for thomas".....I don't know, but I am assuming this is because nothing is delivering it to me (ie-sendmail, procmail, etc)...but this is new territory for me. Now, I am going to change back to using "sendmail" because it says that procmail is not always reliable in the man page...I need all the reliability I can get...so here is my *new new* ~/.fetchmailrc file.... *************start******** #set daemon 300 poll smtp.west.cox.net with protocol POP3: user thomas@whitespur.com there is thomas here mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail" ***********finish********** NOTE-I have tried the mda line w/ & w/o the quotes around the path...same results Now I try this.... ********start******** thomas@www:/home/thomas> fetchmail -v -a --all Enter password for thomas@mydomain.com@smtp.west.cox.net: fetchmail: 5.9.6 querying smtp.west.cox.net (protocol POP3) at Thu Mar 7 21:32:04 2002: poll started fetchmail: 5.9.6 querying smtp.west.cox.net (protocol POP3) at Thu Mar 7 21:33:19 2002: poll completed fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: normal termination, status 2 ********finish******* It appears to be successful (to me), but when I type "mail" again....still "no mail for thomas"---where is it going???? How do I deliver it??? This has to be the last leg? Or maybe we have solve nothing....let me know........
