Has anyone > got a clue? I had this problem with exim a while ago. IIRC the problem was that exim didn't like the mail as it came from an unknown computer (or maybe it was that fetchmail wasn't filling in some headers fully). Try telling smail that it accepts posts from "apollo" and "localhost". Alternatively try telling fetchmail to send the email to smail like this (this is for exim): poll mail.zetnet.co.uk proto pop3 user adrian.bridgett is bridgett here password XXXXXXXXX fetchall mda "exim -bm %s " email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Debian Linux - www.debian.org http://www.poboxes.com/adrian.bridgett | Because bloated, unstable PGP key available on public key servers | operating systems are from MS -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
