On my fedora 10 server I have configured Fetchmail Retrieval using webmin and it seems to be working fine. Here if the output of the check servers from the webmin of the Fetchmail: Checking Servers Checking for mail on server(s) with command fetchmail -v -f '/etc/fetchmailrc' -m '10.0.0.5' .. fetchmail: WARNING: Running as root is discouraged. fetchmail: 6.3.8 querying mail.perfectpol.com (protocol POP3) at Wed May 13 16:24:01 2009: poll started Trying to connect to 196.22x.6x.110/110...connected. fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 server ready <[email protected]> fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< +OK Capability list follows fetchmail: POP3< TOP fetchmail: POP3< USER fetchmail: POP3< UIDL fetchmail: POP3< IMPLEMENTATION Smartertools_SmarterMail_1.5 fetchmail: POP3< . fetchmail: pop.perfectpol.com: opportunistic upgrade to TLS failed, trying to continue. fetchmail: POP3> USER [email protected] fetchmail: POP3< +OK User:'[email protected]' ok fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK Password ok fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 554 fetchmail: POP3> LAST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 2 message for [email protected] at mail.perfectpol.com (554 octets). fetchmail: POP3> LIST 1 fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 554 fetchmail: POP3> TOP 1 99999999 fetchmail: POP3< +OK reading message [email protected]@mail.perfectpol.com:1 of 1 (554 octets) sh: 10.0.0.5: command not found #*fetchmail: Error writing to MDA: Broken pipe not flushed fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 server signing off fetchmail: 6.3.8 querying mail.perfectpol.com (protocol POP3) at Wed May 13 16:24:09 2009: poll completed fetchmail: 6.3.8 querying mail.perfectpol.com (protocol POP3) at Wed May 13 16:24:09 2009: poll started Trying to connect to 196.22x.6x.110/110...connected. fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 server ready <[email protected]> fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< +OK Capability list follows fetchmail: POP3< TOP fetchmail: POP3< USER fetchmail: POP3< UIDL fetchmail: POP3< IMPLEMENTATION Smartertools_SmarterMail_1.5 fetchmail: POP3< . fetchmail: pop.perfectpol.com: opportunistic upgrade to TLS failed, trying to continue. fetchmail: POP3> USER [email protected] fetchmail: POP3< +OK User:'[email protected]' ok fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK Password ok fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 0 fetchmail: No mail for [email protected] at mail.perfectpol.com fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 server signing off fetchmail: 6.3.8 querying mail.perfectpol.com (protocol POP3) at Wed May 13 16:24:16 2009: poll completed fetchmail: normal termination, status 0 .. checking complete Now my problem is how do I configure the fetchmail to deliver mail to clients desktops. I have two email users one with Windows XP mail client Microsoft outlook express and the other one with fedora 10 evaluotion. What are the necessary configuration should be done on the clients pc to receive or get the mails that has been download by fetchmail server.
I have install dovecot for pop3 and configured it, now when I try to test dovecot pop3 #telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused here is my dovecot.conf #protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s protocols = pop3 pop3s imap imaps #pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv #imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh #pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir why is pop3 refused to connect are my setting not right, no firewall or selinux set.

I have edit on the dovecot.conf #listen = *, [::] listen = *, [::] and when I try to telnet the pop3 here is the output of it: [root@perfectpol ~]# telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. Connection closed by foreign host. then the connection just die not sure what is killing it I have no firewalland selinux set(disabled)

I wonder why the netstat output shows Dovecot two times... Are there any other errors in the logs? What's the output of Code: getenforce ?
