Guest SuGa Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Hi there :-) Since yesterday I have a big problem with fetchmail/ssh :-( This is in my ~/.fetchmailrc (hosts, username and password are removed ;-) ) poll mailbox.irgendwo via localhost port 11110 protocol pop3 user <username> pass <passwort>preconnect "ssh -f -n -L 11110:mailbox.irgendwo:110 mailbox.irgendwo 'touch pop.lock; while[-f pop.lock ] ; do sleep 5 ; done'" postconnect "ssh mailbox.irgendwo'/bin/rm pop.lock'" set daemon 300 set syslog Since yesterday I have the problem, that when I try to bind a local port for fetchmail I can't fetch any mails anymore from the mailserver. I get following error message in the /var/log/mail/errors Mar 30 00:42:13 <mein_hostname> fetchmail[23473]: socket error while fetching from mailbox.irgendwo I have absolutely no idea anymore what could cause this problem as I can connect to the mailserver via ssh with an rsa key without any problem :-( There I can also view the mails with pine. fetchmail-6.2.1-3mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SuGa Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I'm not sure that I uinderstand what you mean :-) My internet connection works without any problem. The only thing that doesn't work is this. And I haven't changed anything in the mcc in the last months :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdg Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Just last week I stopped being able to send or receive email. Internet connection worked fine though. I assumed that if I could connect to internet, all my settings must be right Eventually I found that my host name in MCC had been changed to something else. I don't remember doing anything to change it, but there you are. Changed it back and got my email back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
