Mail server won't connect to ISP

Post by Flyingdancer »

I've set up my Bubba Two to collect my email via Pop3 and distribute it using IMAP across the LAN.

When I'm logged into Horde it all works fine.

However, when I'm not in horde, no messages are collected from my ISP.

The syslog says "Unknown login or authentication error on user@email.net@mail.email.net".

I read somewhere on the forum about editing fetchmailrc as you can't have @ in the user name in Bubba. I tried this but must have got it wrong. I could use some help on what my fetchmailrc file should look like.

The fetchmail manual said this was a problem with fetchmail that had been 'cured' in the latest versions. I'm a bit of a newbie with Linux but my Dos and Eee experience is helping me get around so can I update Fetchmail?

I regret the long posting but I'm running out of hair!
