fetchmail authentication

[paul]

I'm trying to get fetchmail to connect to a pop3 server ... download the mail and stick in the inbox of a local user ...

Not too hard?

poll wapdomainz.com with proto POP3

      user "wapdomainz" is "wapdomainz" here

if I run

fetchmail -d0 -v --nosyslog

it asks me for a spassword ... which I give it obviously.

-bash-2.05b$ fetchmail -d0 -v --nosyslog

Enter password for wapdomainz@wapdomainz.com:

-bash-2.05b$

 

doesn't work :( ...

However on my lappie .. which runs MDK9.1 wuth fetchmail 6.2.1 it works fine ... I'm not happy :(

 

also is there a way I can get this to execute when the user logs in rather than running in daemon mode?

 

frustrated !!!

I've been using fetchmail for a while (couple of years) and I've never run it as daemon, instead I run it from cron

#Recogida automática de correo cada 10 minutos

*/10 0-8,18-23 * * mon-fri /usr/bin/fetchmail &> /dev/null

*/10 * * * sat,sun /usr/bin/fetchmail &> /dev/null

 

I run it each 10 minutes only when I'm online.
