[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail not working as expected

[Tejas J. <tx...@in...>]

I setup the following on my computer and run fetchmail as a user "testjin" on my computer.  Fetchmail appears to connect and get mails, it is deleting the mails off of the pop server.  But I can't find them.  I look in /var/spool/mail and don't see them there.  I have been watching /var/spool/maillog on my computer and nothing appears to be happening while I have fetchmail running.

I checked 'netstat -lnp' and postfix appears to be listening to port 25.

Right now my big concern is that the mail is disappearing out of my mailbox on my ISP, but it isn't showing up anywhere.

Sorry that was an error and should be txjin

I ran fetchmail -v 
and included the output at the bottom of this message.   If I read this correctly it is deliverying the email to an smtp server.  I just can't find it.

Two notes - the first is that your version of fetchmail is old (though
that doesn't change the fact that it's working :>), the other is that
your version of sendmail is old.

From the log it looks like you are using Sendmail BTW (Sendmail
8.13.1/8.13.1), not postfix.  If this isn't what you expected I
suggest you stop sendmail and start postfix :)

As for where the mail is going, well, that depends on your config for
Sendmail (currently), what LDA (Local Delivery Agent) and what
POP/IMAP server you have installed.  You'll probably find it in
/var/mail/txjin, though there are a few other places (including
$HOME/mail, /var/spool/mail/cyrus etc).  The best bet is to simply to
start your installed POP/IMAP server and point your mail client at it.

  Thanks for pointing that out.  I scanned right past it and didn't think of the significance.  I ran 'ps aux'|grep sendmail couldn't find a version running on this test computer.  Ran 'ps aux'|grep postfix and found a running daemon.  So now I'm really confused.  When I run fetchmail I'm seeing nothing in my logs maillog or messages.  I guess I'll run a packet sniffer (just to double check), and recheck my postfix configuration.

Can I suggest that while you get this tested you add the "keep" and
"uidl" options so that you don't lose any more emails.  Then when
you're done you can change "keep" to "fetchall" and get all your
emails from while you were testing.
