[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail/Multiple Local Users/Multiple Email Accounts

[Lovell M. <lov...@gm...>]

Can anyone tell me how I can use fetchmail and procmail to be able to  
download mail from two separate accounts to two separate local accounts?

I already have a local account (user1) that is downloading mail from  
my gmail account. Now I am trying to setup another account (user2) to  
be able to download my work email (so I can keep both account emails  
separate).

When I attempt this I get the following error when trying to run  
fetchmail as user2:
===============
[user2@linux ~]$ fetchmail -c
fetchmail: can't check mail while another fetchmail to same host is  
running.
===============

I assume I am getting this error because the fetchmail daemon is  
already running on user1.

Can anyone offer an help?

Detailed Example:

User1 on my local machine is running the fetchmail daemon downloading  
male to my User1 mail directory
I have just created User2 on my local machine and I have  
configured .procmailrc and .fetchmailrc to work with my work account  
and I want to try and start another fetchmail daemon using the user2  
account so that my work mail will download to my user2 mail directory.

As long as user1 and user2 have *distinct* home directories, that
shouldn't be a problem, user1 and user2 can both be running a fetchmail
daemon at the same time -- unless they are sharing the same home
directory.

No they are both running on completely different directories, nothing  
is shared.
user1 = /home/user1
user2 = /home/user2

I was able to get fetchmail started but I have now run into another  
problem.  When I checked my log after running in detailed verbose, I  
get the following error:
[lmcilwain@Firewall ~]$ tail -f fetchmail.log
procmail: Couldn't create "/var/mail/lmcilwain"
procmail: [17952] Sun Apr  1 17:54:43 2007
procmail: Assigning "LOGNAME=procmail.log"
procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=procmail.log"
procmail: Opening "procmail.log"

So now I am not able to get anything into my inbox and everything  
haults.  I have not been able to find a way to get it to write to / 
var/mail/user2.

I even created it myself and gave it the same type of permissions
Owner = user2
Group = mail

But still it won't write.

Looks like a procmail issue.

Check the permissions of the procmail executable (is it setuid root?)

Check the permissions of /var/mail and /var/mail/user2.

Use: ls -ldb /some/thing

If that doesn't help, check with the procmail mailing lists or replace
procmail by maildrop.

user1

user2
-rw-r--r-- 1 user2 mail 0 Apr  1 18:36 /var/mail/user2 (I had to  
create this file by hand (touch user2) chown user2 / chgrp mail and  
that was it for this one) in the comparison I can see that this might

Maybe, but this isn't the whole picture.
Try "chmod 0660 /var/mail/user2" to fix.

Since you didn't show the /var/mail permissions,
I can't say if that's sufficient though.

Sorry I didn't mean to forget to show that.  Here are the permissions  
on that directory.

[root@Linux ~]$ ls -ldb /var/mail/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Apr  2 04:50 /var/mail/

Might require stuffing user1 and user2 into the "mail" group
(particularly if user1 is in that group and user2 isn't, although that
group isn't shown for either of them).

Ok I will check and add them both to the mail group.  I kinda find it  
weird that when I did this for user1 sometime ago, I didni't have to  
muck around with the mail file or permissions at all in t he /var/ 
mail directory , just the .fetchmail file in the ~/ directory.

I wonder if its possible I screwed up something on a larger scale

So I have added both users to the mail group and now I am able to  
write to the mail spool for user2.  I guess its a combination of  
things but Im just not sure how it all started.

All in all I got all that I needed to get done done thanks to you guys.

Contents of both .fetchmailrc files?

Version of fetchmail?

OS?

(This is perfectly achievable, I do this myself)

Ok, nothing I can see that causes fetchmai to complain.  Can you do
the following:

1) The output of "id" as each user
2) Start fetchmail as user1, then run "fetchmail --nosyslog -v -v -v"
as user2, while fetchmail for user1 is running

Current enough.

I assume that work.smtp.com doesn't resolve to pop.gmail.com?

I actually ran fetchmail --keep --nosyslog -v -v -v (I wanted to keep  
my mail on the server until I get this working right)

Ok, these really are 2 users (worth checking :>)

Ok, how about the rest of the log.  Log snippets just waste my time.

Note that the log does suggest the problem is that you have multiple
programs connecting to the mailbox and your work's POP server only
supports one at a time.

Sorry about that, the log kinda just sat there so I thought it was  
done, I will regenerate.

I was connected to the system via IMAPS.  I am using fetchmail to  
download via POP, I didn't think the two would conflict.  I will shut  
down my client connecting via IMAPS and give it another shot
