It is possible to have fetchmail download both gmail and msn/hotmail but it takes a little work to set up. If anyone else wants to do it, I leave you these notes to make your set up go quicker. 1) Minimum version of fetchmail required is fetchmail-2.6.3.19. Earlier versions won't work. 1.1) My configuration line to build fetchmail was: ./configure --enable-RPA --enable-NTLM --enable-SDPS --disable-nls --with-gnu-ld --with-ssl 1.2) After that a make and make install and updatedb and makewhatis -u let the system know where it's at. 2) If you have /usr/share/curl/ca-bundle.crt on your system it will have the four ssl certificates needed to make all of this work. The pop.live.com server expects both of the GTE certificates to be installed. Google expects the Equifax certificate and the Thawte-Premium certificate to be installed. 2.1) Installing certificates on my system procedure goes like this: 2.1.1) if $HOME/.certs doesn't exist create that directory. 2.1.2) cp /usr/share/curl/ca-bundle.crt $HOME/.certs (never work with originals). 2.1.3) cd $HOME/.certs. edit with editor ca-bundle.crt. 2.1.4) search for GTE which will be found twice and each time search for END and copy those certificates out to the gte names replacing spaces with underscores and putting a .pem file extension on them. Do the same for the Equifax file and the Thawte_premium file. 3) put your credentials into a .netrc file and user names in these cases are complete email addresses. fetchmail will find and use credentials in .netrc files. Machine names are imap.gmail.com and pop3.live.com for gmail and msn/hotmail respectively. 4) what follos is my .fetchmailrc file: set no syslog set logfile /home/jude/fetchmail.log skip imap.gmail.com with proto IMAP user 'jdashiel' there is 'jude' here mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" options warnings 3600 no keep ssl sslcertck sslcertpath /home/jude/.certs poll pop3.live.com with proto pop3 user "dashielljt3@xxxxxxx" there is 'jude' here mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" options warnings 3600 no keep ssl sslcertck sslcertpath /home/jude/.certs _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
