Hi,
I noticed getmail (pop3 connector) stops working after a while.
I solve rebooting the server, and then, after 3-4 days, getmail simply stops fetching the remote mailboxes again.
Nothing interesting in maillog or messages log files, it simply stops trying to fetch.
Any suggestions?
If I try to type the command (took from the getmail cron):
/usr/bin/getmail --getmaildir /var/lib/getmail/ --rcfile /var/lib/getmail/e-mailaddress@domain.it.cfg it just works.
Thank you
Can you see any error message in /var/log/cron and /var/log/messages?
Hi,
no, nothing relevant in the logs.
It seems the issue is more on the cron side.
In the /var/log/cron I just see the last getmail command launch by the cron, which is really outdated.
Yesterday, after many customer complaints, I decided to modify MX record of the domain to route e-mail directly to the server, and I disabled pop3 connector.
I need to do some investigation on a non production nethserver installation.
One thing I noticed was that if I relax the frequency of the e-mail fetches (to 30 minutes and not to 10 minutes), getmail lasts longer before stops working.
If I’ll found something interesting I’ll report here.
Thank you
