mail forward between ISPs
Hello,
I'm on Ubuntu 6.06 and I also have a Debian 2.4 embedded Linux system. I need to configure a script or an application that takes my mail from one remote ISP account and send everything to another remote account. This is because my ISP block me when I try to download my mail from other providers. I know that fetchmail can help but I don't know how to configure It. Maybe I have to do a Pipe between fetchmail and smtpclient timely based with a cron job? I saw around people talking about fetchmail/getmail or procmail can help to do the job, but I don't understand well how. many thanks. Picio

Let us try to solve your problem step by step.
Fetch mail configuration is quite easy. Make sure you have Fetch mail package installed. Open .fetchmailrc config file: Code:
cd; touch .fetchmailrc chmod 600 .fetchmailrc vi .fetchmailrc Code:
poll POP3.ISP.COM with proto POP3 user POP3USERNAME there with password "POP3PASSWORD" is "LOCAL-USER-NAME" here To forward an email use .forward file: Code:
echo 'somewhere@yahoo.com' > .forward Code:
fetchmail

pop conect but unable to send....
Hello, thanks for the fast answer, I'm so late giving you feedback because I was traveling....
Anyway this is what I got in may fetchmail log: fetchmail: sleeping at Wed, 20 Sep 2006 13:55:42 +0200 (CEST) fetchmail: awakened at Wed, 20 Sep 2006 14:26:00 +0200 (CEST) fetchmail: 1 message for ejspino at in.xxxpopxxx.xx (244894 octet  .fetchmail: reading message ejspino@in.xxxpopxxx.xx:1 of 1 (244894 octet fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failedfetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from in.alice.it fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) fetchmail: sleeping at Wed, 20 Sep 2006 14:26:04 +0200 (CEST) I forgot to tell you that this is an embedded linux, so I'm trying to have as less application as I can -> sendamil is not installed. Instead I have smtpclient: does this work too? What do you think? Thanks again Picioslug
