Ok why not look into the man pages for fetchmail, I know there is an option which can direct mails to smtp servers (not sure how postfix works). Mails end up in the directory /var/spool/mail/yourname which is where mail clients pick up the mails for you. I am assuming that you have a mail and the server is trying to append a new mail. I am used to sendmail but I am sure if you check the man pages for fetchmail options you should get all the help you need. You could also post the log here.

Then in the logfile "access denied" to that file. I have not solved the problem yet but it feels that I'm on my way. Thank you. /Mats tis 2010-06-01 klockan 21:15 +0000 skrev Oluwagbenga Shobowale: > I think your log files should give an insight to where the mails are and what is happening ..
