According to your .fetchmailrc your username on the local machine is 'deshmukh' (This line defines that:) " user 'deshmukh' there with password 'xxx' is 'deshmukh' here" Everywhere else you refer to yourself as "sandip". Fetchmail is telling exim to put all the mail in /var/mail/deshmukh but there is no local user named 'deshmukh'. Those messages are getting bounced. Change .fetchmailrc to read: " user 'deshmukh' there with password 'xxx' is 'sandip' here" G -- gvl2 (Gerald) AirBall the Rolling Basket Case (1969 Standard Beetle) LifeSaver (1974 Bay Window Bus) http://www.phorce1.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
