[afnog] fetchmail-Exim

[Mike Barnard]

Hi, i have a fetchmail exim setup where i pick up mail from a remote
loaction using fetchmail and dump it into a local box running an exim mail
server. i can get my local deliveries done OK. all the test mails sent from
the local box and from remote are received by the mail server. i however
have three problems.

1. My fetchmail is not picking the mails from the remote server
     my fetchmail script is configured thus

      #fetch mail for mike
      poll 204.202.255.1 protocol pop3 user "mike1" there
      with password "mike123" is mike2 here

      and every run gets me this output

      fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying 204.202.255.1 (protocol POP3) at Fri Feb 24
21:51:20 2006: poll started
      fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying 204.202.255.1 (protocol POP3) at Fri Feb 24
21:51:20 2006: poll completed
      fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)

2. My SpamAssassin is giving me errors that i dont think it should

3. My courier-imap is droping connections. i have looked and looked at my
authmysqlrc file over and over again and i think its OK. this is the out put
i get for all attempted logins

      Feb 24 21:25:40 kulika imapd: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such
file or directory
      Feb 24 21:25:40 kulika imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=
mike at kulika.one2net.co.ug, ip=[127.0.0.1]
      Feb 24 21:25:40 kulika imapd: authentication error: No such file or
directory

any help with this, ill greatly appreciate.
