Fetchmail issue

Hi again,

I have a fetchmail isue I can’t seem to be able to solve.

I first kept getting fetchmail: MDA returned nonzero status 127 -
googled, looked it up, and solved it
THEN I met error # 128. googled, looked it up and updted the cygwin.dll
Which promptly gave me error 75:

C:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common\fetchmail>cd “C:\Program
Files\OurInternet\C
ommon\fetchmail\bin”

C:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common\fetchmail\bin>type
…\rt-mailgate.conf | f
etchmail.exe -N -d 300 -f -
fetchmail: removing stale lockfile
fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon
16 messages for administrator@rt.teleplan.no at 213.88.185.56 (39837
octets).
reading message administrator@rt.teleplan.no@213.88.185.56:1 of 16 (1169
octets)
.RT server error.

The RT server which handled your email did not behave as expected. It
said:

fetchmail: MDA returned nonzero status 75
not flushed
reading message administrator@rt.teleplan.no@213.88.185.56:2
mailto:administrator@rt.teleplan.no@213.88.185.56:2 of 16 (1552
octets)
.RT server error.

I have tried both IP-address and domain, have tried with full user name
and just admin.
If I set it up as

rt.teleplan.no
administrator and password, I get this:

C:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common\fetchmail>cd “C:\Program
Files\OurInternet\C
ommon\fetchmail\bin”

C:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common\fetchmail\bin>type
…\rt-mailgate.conf | f
etchmail.exe -N -d 300 -f -
fetchmail: removing stale lockfile
fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon
fetchmail: Authorization failure on administrator@rt.teleplan.no
mailto:administrator@rt.teleplan.no
fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL)
fetchmail: sleeping at Mon May 2 20:41:02 2005

The account itself is capable of receiving and sending mail in mail
clients on the server - sysadmin set up a pop3 service for us on it -
could it be this is interfering ?

I also updated from the 3.0.12 windows version to the 3.4.0 test
version, and the error is the same on both.

Grateful for any help :slight_smile:

I had to install cygwin on the RT server before I could get fetchmail
working:

  • install cygwin
  • startup cygwin while logged on as the user that will run the fetchmail
    (the user account home dir needs to be created under cygwin - fetchmail
    needs it for temp files)
  • replace the fetchmail cygwin.dll with the one in the cygwin
    installation
  • make sure the fetchmail script can logon to your mail server (I used
    imap4)
