I have fetchmail working just fine on box A. I setup fetchmail on box B and moved the exist fetchmailrc file over from box A to B with the hopes of doing a drop-in replacement. I keep getting an error from fetchmail that says fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified. This of course is rediculous as the configuration file is exactly the same one I was using on box A. The permisitions are correct, I know all dns names can be resolved from that box and well I'm flat out of ideas. I also did scrub through the logs, but can't find anything and fetchmail only provides that error message. Oh also I was considering going from the usual spool/mail setup and having each user a mail directory in home. Is there a simple enough way to do this if I'm using Spam Assassin, Procmail, and either Exim or Postfix? I guess the question is there any reason other than keeping mail in the user's home directory thus freeing space for the /var directory and perhaps for security reasons, would I gain anything by continuing to use the spool/mail setup over the maildirs being in the /home/user. Ok I do need some cofee I don't think that made sense. grin tia Scott ----- End forwarded message -----
