finally getting around to building my new f20 machine and, as i
read it, f20 now ships without sendmail.
so far, to match what i've used for years, i've installed on my
f20 box:
* alpine
* fetchmail
and i've copied over from my old (ubuntu) system the relevant files:
* .addressbook{,.lu}
* .pinerc
* .fetchmailrc
i can check that there is mail waiting at my ISP with:
$ fetchmail -c
and sure enough, there's a pile of mail there. however, not
surprisingly, if i try to fetch it, i get:
fetchmail: Connection errors for this poll:
name 0: connection to localhost:smtp [::1/25] failed: Connection refused.
name 1: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection
refused.
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
since (obviously), without sendmail, nothing is listening on port
25. so what's the solution these days? a pointer to a web page
somewhere would work just fine. thanks.
