fetchmail question - about a discussed thread

[speedyad]

hi,

i know that the fetchmail-problems were diskussed a lot in this community- but i didnt find a thread wich helped me; well maybe one could be the answer- this ist why i ask for more details:

the solution was:

so... from the fetchmail man page:

As each message is retrieved fetchmail normally delivers it via SMTP
to port 25 on the machine it is running on (localhost), just as though
it were being passed in over a normal TCP/IP link.

Now, on a Scalix system, port 25/localhost is used by sendmail internally. This could also be used to submit messages into Scalix, however, it seems that the addresses are not recognized.

It would be better and easier to add the following line to the fetchmail config

Code:
smtp <scalix-server-hostname>


as the Scalix SMTP relay will listen on <servername>:25 and accept messages right into Scalix.

in wich file must i write smtp <scalix-server-hostname>?

i have the same problem: i can send email outside, but fetchmail cannot fetch to my internal emailaccount:

fetchmail: SMTP< 550 5.1.1 <alex@myemaildomain>... User unknown
fetchmail: SMTP error: 550 5.1.1 <alex@myemaildomain>... User unknown
fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address `alex@localhost'

i tried every-possible configuration: changing the local recipient in fetchmailrc to alex@localhost, alex@mydomain.local, alex, alex@localhost.localdomain and so on.

i would appreciate so much if someone could help me!

Hi speedy,

not sure which thread that came from, but the localhost part is incorrect. localhost:25 is only for email outgoing from scalix to the internet. To deliver mail to your scalix server, please use the server's real ip address.

The local recipient should be whatever email addr you have set for the user. Either check in SAC or on the CLI (omshowu -n $USERNAME) to make sure you are using the right address.

Take a look at the fetchmail howto http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?ti ... /Fetchmail and let me know if you have any more problems getting that working.
