fetchmail and postfix mail setup on Snow Leopard - request for guidance
Howdy, I hope it is ok to post this here.
I would like to do all my POP3 email with fetchmail, postfix and emacs. On Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - this is not urgent and I really want to do it in one of the right ways.
USER = machine user
user = email user
My fetchmailrc
Downloaded the Cert file from host and renamed it .pem and did
works - fetchmail gets the mail.
I downloaded a mail that way to test it, and its sitting in:
I have had a mail setup with fetchmail, mutt and exim on a thinkpad running debian, but I still do not really understand how it works - following instructions, but not fully understanding how the mail is handled on my machine.
here is a log entry on running postfix:
... why is postfix knocking on my mailservers door - I thought fetchmail got that job?
I have a Mail folder in my home directory. I assume that the mail
arrives / gets written in mbox format. I assume that postfix is my MTA
and that it should put my email into a system mailbox belonging to
USER ? Or maybe directly into my homefolder mailbox ?
How do I get my mail into my Mail Folder? (and how did the testmail get into the 'deferred' folder?)
thank you all in advance for pointing out and directing me. I promise to write a complete HOWTO on setting this up when I understand it, with your help. peace
... later - I have read half the night and edited the /etc/postfix/main.cf file followed instructions and added the server ca.crt, tls, and so on. It kinda works - I can:
and the mail actually arrives.
postfix still said it could not verify the certificate so I changed tls_security to 'encrypt' for now. I have
in the main.cf file and its a file now - started with a directory.
But sending mail to myself now fails - postfix takes my user before the @ and says 'user' unknown (which is true of course) and bounces the mail back. I think I have to map names and aliases ...
... well, I asked for this - full acceptance, no guitars.

I've just installed Alpine on Snow Leopard but can't seem to get a default spell checker configured for it. What happened to spell? I can't find it at all on 10.6, must have been some changes. Does anyone know about the default unix spell checker on SL? Thanks! (0 Replies)
