The rest of my new box is working, but -- as expected -- mail isn't. |
2 |
I can send mail, which is recorded in syslog & arrives at this machine, |
3 |
but I can't grab mail from the 2 mail servers out there (ISP + UoT). |
4 |
The cron job in /var/spool/cron/crontabs is the same as here |
5 |
with the same permissions & syslog says it runs it every 5 min . |
6 |
.fetchmailrc is the same there as here & so is .procmailrc . |
7 |
I've tried remerging Fetchmail Procmail & their deps & checked USE flags. |
8 |
There definitely was mail to download, as the test msgs I sent |
9 |
had been waiting some time when I got them on this machine |
10 |
(yes, I always send 2 of them via each of the mail servers). |
11 |
|
12 |
One thought is that it mb due to the presence of Python3 on the new machine: |
13 |
there's a line at the end of the Fetchmail emerge output |
14 |
which says something re "CPython". |
15 |
|
16 |
Mail is usually difficult to get going, as there are so many pieces |
17 |
& they all have to work correctly. Any suggestions are very welcome. |
