Thread: Fetchmail permission denied


ubuntu 10.4 new install on new machine.

mutt-msmtp-fetchmail- procmail.

fetchmail gives permission denied.

checked permissions against permissions on old machine runs 10.4, older cobbeled install result of auto updating earlier ubuntu.

have googled 2 days , have found no helpful suggestion.

suggestions appreciated.

edit add:

have sent myself many emails , not appear in /var/log/mail.log nor in sys.log nor other logs.

appear never being executed mutt muttrc exact copy of 1 on old machine has run several years now.

of course changed lines reference host. other filenames identical.

10.4 came without sendmail , since have used sendmail, installed synaptic.

installation did postfix files not removed.

decided maybe installed wrong version of msmtp removed , installed msmtp-mta , installation removed sendmail.

in muttrc kept line> set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" because without mutt not load.

whereis postfix shows still in on machine, synaptic can not see it.

wondering if mutt trying use remnant of postfix. remove rather junking system leftovers beginning.
