Hello,
I have sendmail fine on a linux box with a fixed IP dialup account with
eircom. The MX records show that dsmtp1.tinet.ie do backup MX for the
domain blahXXX.ie. And mail goes straight to blahXXX.ie when the machine
is dialed up. It wont however pick up backup mail from dsmtp1.tinet.ie.
I have attempted to ETRN the server using the sendmail etrn.pl command and
using fetchmail, shown below. It just will not work!
Any ideas?
Peter
# fetchmail -v -S blahXXX.ie
