[fetchmail-users] Problem with multiple ip on same interface + etchmaol

[Mitko R. <ru...@we...>]

Hello,

i changed my network config to have multiple ips on eth0. Since then,
every time the alias eth0:1 is up fetchmail refuses to work. with just
one ip on the interface everything works well.

my config looks like the following:

set postmaster "postmaster"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 300
poll haftbar.de with proto IMAP
    interface eth0/141.28.224.224 monitor eth0
    user '#########' there with password '########' is '#######' here
options keep ssl


i tried with or without interface option, with or without monitor option

there is only one nic installes with the following ips:

eth0 141.28.224.224 hostname homer
eth0:1 141.28.224.70 hostname dump

fetchmail constantly refuses to use the hostname homer, uses dump
instead and does nothing after telling me that he is polling the server.

any clues to solve this?


regards,

mitko rürup

You need to post the output of "fetchmail --nodetach -v -v -v" and
confirm your version of fetchmail (hint, if it's not 6.3.5 then
upgrade before running the above).

Maybe you should use eth0:0 for the
first interface in your fetchmailrc?
