[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail forwarding

[Spam M. <wel...@gm...>]

Hello,
I appologize if this has been asked before, but I've search the archives and
found no solution.

What I'd like to do is have fetchmail collect mail from all my various email
accounts, and forward everything to my gmail account.  I've been able to get
the polling working properly, however I can't get the messages properly
forwarding to my gmail account.  I was just wondering if I've set the smtp
variables correctly (see .fetchmailrc included below)?  If i remove the two
smtp lines, fetchmail happily runs and exits with no errors (however since I
dont have any email software installed locally the mail doesn't actually go
anywhere).  However, when I add the smtp lines the software hangs on the
"reading message add...@gm...@gmail-pop.l.google.com:1 of 11 (2020
octets)" line.

I'm using version 6.3.2, and my .fetchmailrc is below (where I want to
collect messages from address1 and forward them to address 2):

poll pop.gmail.com
  proto POP3
  port 995
  user 'add...@gm...'
  ssl

smtphost 'smtp1.sympatico.ca'
smtpname 'add...@gm...'

fetchall
keep

Thanks for any help!
Dan

Well, output of "fetchmail -v -v -v" would be useful so we can work
out where it's going wrong.  You may also need to set smtpaddress and
provide a delivery destination in the poll line.

Output of "fetchmail --configdump" to show what fetchmail thinks of
your config would be handy too - don't forget to munge passwords.

Wha not install procmail and configure it as MDA for fetchmail?

Then add the following singel recipe to your ~/.procmailrc

   :0
   ! you...@gm...

Because procmail is an unmaintained piece of unconfigurable software (to
many at least) and even such simple recipes are usually wrong - yours
for instance destroys envelope information and is up to nice forwarding
loops...
