I'm trying to get mail from my server, and fetchmail is encountering
some error.
161 messages (1 seen) for <my username> at students.uiuc.edu (902152 octets).
reading message 1 of 161 (1390 header octets) .fetchmail: SMTP connect
to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from
students.uiuc.edu
fetchmail: Query status=10
Here's my ~/.fetchmailrc
server students.uiuc.edu
proto imap
user <my username>
pass <my password>
no flush
fetchall
smtphost localhost
I did research on this on DejaNews, and most folks said this error
comes up when no smtp daemon is running, but I do have smail running.
I'm guessing this has something to do with my smail not letting mail
be delivered to my machine. Typically, I just have mail forwarded
from my server to my machine, and this works okay.
Here's what I think will be the interesting output of fetchmail -v
(verbose mode).
