UCS + Fetchmal fetch no mails..

bizzor

Hi,
i install kopano on my UCS Server.
The most problem is “Fetchmal” we configure the fetchmal for any user but he fetch no mail.
i have no idea, and no log? i see in the syslog a “Fetchmal is Startet…” but no more.

Hi @bizzor,

over at the Univention forum are quite a few users of the UCS Fetchmail app. i have not used it myself but would expect a logfile called fetchmail.log in /var/log.

Hello @bizzor

take a look at /var/log/mail.log

cat /var/log/mail.log | grep fetchmail

and also check your fetchmail daemon:

systemctl status fetchmail

Hi @bizzor and @fbartels,

fetchmail.log exists if it is enabled in /etc/fetchmailrc.
Change the line with “set no syslog” to “set syslog”. (I am not sure if this change survives a rebuild of /etc/fetchmailrc. I expect that there is a template for fetchmailrc somewhere. To make the change permanent you have to find the template and change it.)

# grep syslog /etc/fetchmailrc 
set no syslog

check the status and restart the fetchmail daemon

# /etc/init.d/fetchmail status
...
# /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart
...
# /etc/init.d/fetchmail status
...

Regards Markus.
