Fecthmail / Syntaxerror in fetchmailrc

freiser

Hello,
we have started a first grommunio appliance and would like to use fetchmail. The command "grommunio-admin fetchmail write-rc" writes a fetchmailrc with the line "set no fetchall". This leads to the termination of the fetchmail service with the log entry:
"fetchmail: restart fetchmail (/etc/fetchmailrc modified).
fetchmail:/etc/fetchmailrc:6: syntax error at fetchall". If you remove or comment out the line, the fetchmailrc will be rewritten after a short time and the erroneous line is there again. Where can I change the global settings of the fetchmailrc?

The file /etc/fetchmailrc is updated by the grommunio-fetchmail.timer/grommunio-fetchmail.service.
That is if you look more closely done by grommunio-admin fetchmail write-rc.

Have you actually configured any account to use fetchmail yet or is it just that error with a blank service?

I have configured an account for testing, which is also correctly entered in the fetchmailrc. The wrong line in the fetchmailrc is the line "set no fetchall". If I remove this line, the fetchmail service runs correctly until the time when the fetchmailrc is rewritten, then the error occurs.
Where can I customize what "grommunio-admin fetchmail write rc" writes to the fetchmailrc file (the Global settings part)?

fyi: you could delete the corresponding line for now in /usr/share/grommunio-admin-api/cli/fetchmail.py L:16 and do an grommunio-admin fetchmail write-rc -f and for now get on with the testing.
This change will be undone the next time grommunio-admin-api will be updated. And you can always do an zypper install --force grommunio-admin-api to undo your local changes.

Hmm.. i don't even understand why this has been added as the man states it's a default and you can configure it via /etc/sysconfig/fetchmail.

@jschroeder could you tell us why?

Thank you very much, that solves my problem for now.
