Mailadmin over and over receives mails about pop-error
Support knowledgebase (rsimai_imap_fetch_mail_error)
Applies to
eMail Server: Version 2
Symptom:
Mailadmin gets over and over mails with this contents:
Subject:Cron <cyrus@MY_SERVER> /usr/bin/pop.pl --pop pop3.PROVIDER.de USER
No such object at /usr/bin/pop.pl line 401.
Cause:
You have configured Fetch Mail
using some special characters.
For some providers you have to do this, e.g. to poll mails from Strato you have to replace @
with %
Though, these characters are interpreted by some scripts.
Solution:
You may find a modified fetch-mail-script on our FTP-server.
Proceed as follows:
- Download
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/products/emailserver/2.0/fetch_mail.pl.gz and save it to
/tmp
-
Unzip it:
gunzip /tmp/fetch_mail.pl.gz
-
Change the attributes:
chmod u+s,g+x,o+x /tmp/fetch_mail.pl
-
Save the original file:
mv /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/imap-bin/fetch_mail.pl /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/imap-bin/fetch_mail.pl.old
-
Copy the file to its place:
cp /tmp/fetch_mail.pl /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/imap-bin/fetch_mail.pl
Finally remove existing Fetch Mail
entries which contain special characters and create them new!
