Message-ID: <33076594@newdoc.Dartmouth.ORG> (raw)
Hello,
I receive mail on this account that can be accessed via
POP3. I used to use fetchmail as my mail-fetcher on an old
machine to do this. I am trying to do the same from another
machine that runs Redhat 9 (Linux 2.4.20-8) and seems like I
cannot decipher how exactly to do this (perusing the
fetchmail man page had me really confused). My .fetchmailrc
looks like this:
---------
set syslog
set daemon 10
poll newdoc.dartmouth.org and options no dns keep
user 'karthikv' there is 'karthik' here options
---------
$ fetchmail
fetchmail:/home/karthik/.fetchmailrc:6: parse error at user
How can I fix this? (BTW, I had a whole load of dependency
issues on trying to install fetchmailconf...)
Thanks!
-K
