Problem with Fetchmail

Dear all,

I’m setting up RT3.88 on Ubuntu10.04. Now the UI works fine, but I cannot
receive emails thru Fetchmail. I followed the instruction on this wiki to
setup the fetchmail: Fetchmail - Request Tracker Wiki.

Following is my /opt/rt3/etc/fetchmailrc.

poll pop.126.com proto pop3:

username pisceswzh password [mypassword] mda “/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --url
[myurl] --queue General --action correspond”

If I run “fetchmail -f /opt/rt3/etc/fetchmailrc”, I got an response “1
message (1 seen) for pisceswzh at pop.126.com (6411 octers). Skipping
message pisceswzh@pop3.126.idns.yeah.net:1 not flushed”

Apparently fetchmail is able to see there is one mail in the mailbox, which
is correct, but it is unable to download that email. I’m doubting if I have
set the mda part correctly or there is some permission issues.

Anyone, please help. Any advice would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

I’d suggest you pop over to the fetchmail-users mailing list, having
read the FAQ, where we’ll be happy to help :wink:

You may want to add the fetchall (and nokeep) options. On the command
line use “-a -K”. That will force all emails, new and old, to be
downloaded and then deleted. If you want to leave them there don’t
use “-K”.

             Please keep list traffic on the list.
