To collect my emails, I use a # cron job, with "fetchmail --silent"
(Could use fetchmail daemon, however cron gives finer control over days and times mail is collected.)
My .fetchmailrc file is below. Passwords kept in ~/.netrc.
The --silent command line option is supposed to suppress all progress/status messages, but not actual error messages. Error messages are being correctly directed to /var/log/fetchmail (by .fetchmailrc) rather than syslog.
Problem is that the error messages being logged in /var/ log/fetchmail don't have any dates or timestamps. This is a pain. Yes, I have RTFM'd extensively. Did I miss something ?
Any clues about fixing this would be appreciated.
# /root/.fetchmailrc
# Fetchmail run control file
# Global
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail
set invisible
set postmaster "postmaster"
# Server
poll mail.internode.on.net protocol pop3
user "xxxx" is person here
user "yyyy" is root here
# Server
poll pop3.myrealbox.com protocol pop3
user "zzzzz" is person here keep
