Bug#540245: Fails with "fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified." on upgrade.
Goswin von Brederlow
Version: 6.3.9~rc2-6
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've been using fetchmail for a long time and after upgrade today I
get:
fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified.
---[ /etc/fetchmailrc ]-----------------------------------------------
# Configuration created Fri Jun 1 07:34:34 2001 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "mrvn"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll post.webmailer.de with proto POP3 auth password
user 'gos...@vonbrederlow.de' there with password 'XXXXXXXX' is mrvn here warnings 3600
antispam 571 550 501 554
poll pop3.web.de with proto POP3 auth password
user 'goswin-v-b' there with password 'XXXXXXXX' is mrvn here warnings 3600
antispam 571 550 501 554
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why doesn't fetchmail default to deliver mail to localhost anymore?

I see no problem here. Can you show me your
/etc/default/fetchmail file?
Cheers

Ok great. The problem was that after this update the config
file was included after the OPTIONS shell variable was setup
so basically the configuration from the config file got
lost. Sorry for the inconvenience!
