Hmmm... This is unusual! You need an MTA installed (sendmail, exim, postfix, whatever) installed in order to send your confirmations. I believe fetchmail also needs it (even though I *think* it can also deliver mail directly). Are you sure you don't have an mta there? Try: rpm -ql | grep -i sendmail If that is not fruitful, try: rpm -ql | grep -i exim rpm -ql | grep -i postfix rpm -ql | grep -i qmail > i use fetchmail to retrieve mails from the server: > > set daemon 60 > poll pollux.wzw.tum.de > protocol pop3 > user ingo > pass xxxxxxxxx > keep Should be working OK... What does your MTA logfile say (Usually /var/log/maillog or something similar)? > but all my mails are completely lost. not even a log file. > as soon as i delete the .forward file, they come through, again. > as soon as i put it back in, they disappear. Check /var/log/maillog. I think we'll obtain some clues there.
