Is this what your "fetchmailrc" entry looks like: -rwx------ 1 fetchmail fetchmail 4.7K 2014-10-31 07:25:43 EDT fetchmailrc 2) cd to the /usr/local/etc directory and run as root: service fetchmail stop At that point fetchmail should be shut down. If not, post the error message. 3) Now still as root, enter: service fetchmail start If any error messages are displayed, show them here. 4) now, still as root, enter: service fetchmail awaken Post any error messages. 5) If you want, and have not done so all ready, create a log file. cd to /var/log and enter: touch "fetchmail.log" sans quotations and then change the ownership and permissions. chown fetchmail:fetchmail /var/log/fetchmail.log chmod 0666 /var/log/fetchmail.log In your "/usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc" file, enter the following: set logfile "/var/log/fetchmail.log" set postmaster "postmaster" set bouncemail set no spambounce set softbounce set properties "" You may need to change some of them; however, leave the logfile entry as is. Now, you will have to restart fetchmail for this to take effect. Again, as root, service fetchmail restart Post any error messages. Good luck! -- Jerry |
