Hi,
I'm trying to retrieve mail by POP from clubi.
When PPP is up I do
smail -bd
fetchmail
fetchmail reports that it is flushing the messages (I presume this is
good), yet nothing appears in the spool. Then the sender of the message
gets the following in there mailbox:
|------------------------- Failed addresses follow: ---------------------|
<sammonm at domain localhost> ... loop detection: maximum hop count exceeded
|------------------------- Message text follows: ------------------------|

I think smail might be misconfigured but I can't figure out where. Anyone
got ideas, or could someone send me relevant config files if getting mail
in similar fashion.
cheers
Matthew
