I'm running slink with kernel 2.2.5.
I use exim. There is no other mail software installed.
I can send mail to armin and to [EMAIL PROTECTED] lebowski is the hostname.
Sure, I've read the manual page of exim and fetchmail. But a manpage
is more a reference than an introduction for an newbie.
I've even looked into my ~/.fetchmailrc. The recipient was given as armin.
The error message was:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ fetchmail
Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
1 message for wegner at ldv.uni-trier.de (2454 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (470 header octets) fetchmail: SMTP listener
doesn't like recipient address [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
fetchmail: can't even send to armin!
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from ldv.uni-trier.de
fetchmail: Query status=10
I've configured exim with eximconf to local delivery and edited
~/.fetchmailrc by hand. I have added "is [EMAIL PROTECTED]".
fetchmail works now.
Nevertheless I tested to mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following mail
has been returned:
