Problem with saving mails (fetchmail + procmail + uudeview)
Hello!

I try to save attachments from mails (pop3/imap) to folders.
I have 2 emails, which i want to scan:
user1@host_address
user2@host_address

I use next .fetchmailrc configuration


PHP Code:
#defaults protocol pop3

poll "user2@host_address",
 protocol imap,
 user "user1",
 password "1"

poll "user2@host_address",
 protocol imap,
 user "user2",
 password "1"

mda '/usr/bin/procmail -d %T' 
So, when I send mails to user1 and to user2, fetcmail gets attachments only from USER2 and not from USER1. It changes the status from unseen to seen both in USER1 and USER2, but doesn't get one attachment.

I have a log of fetchmail command:

The Fetchmail FAQ says the attachments are always actually within the mail, so if you got the mail, the attachment should be there. Do you get both emails, just not the attachment?

No!

I get attachment and full message copy only from user2!
From user1 I don't get anything..

I think that problem in next: when I send mail from user3 to user1, it firstly resends to door@localhost (but why?) and then falls to some queue and doesn't goes to user1... but why it doesn't happy with user2? It's strange.

Everything is just past the Door.

OK, so attachments is not it, you cannot get to user1. The mention of user2@ on the poll line is not supported by the man page Man Page for fetchmail (All Section 0) - The UNIX and Linux Forums
