fetchmail error while getting mail?

Post by shams »

Hi,
When i run the command:
fetchmail -p ETRN --fetchdomains example.net mail.rollernet.us
The error is:
fetchmail: connection to mail.rollernet.us:smtp [208.79.240.2/25] failed: No route to host.
fetchmail: connection to mail.rollernet.us:smtp [2607:fe70:0:3::a/25] failed: Network is unreachable.
ETRN connection to mail.rollernet.us failed: Network is unreachable
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
I change the example.net with my domain there is internet connection as i am posting this post, any one can help please?

Can you telnet to mail.rollernet.us on port 25? We also allow ETRN connections to port 2525 if port 25 is being blocked.

Code: Select all

fetchmail -p ETRN -P 2525 --fetchdomains example.net mail.rollernet.us

Thanks for reply, i ping first then it just start working:
ping mail.rollernet.us
PING mail.rollernet.us (208.79.240.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from mail.rollernet.us (208.79.240.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=516 ms
64 bytes from mail.rollernet.us (208.79.240.2): icmp_seq=3 ttl=47 time=488 ms

then i tried the:
# fetchmail -p ETRN -P 2525 --fetchdomains example.net mail.rollernet.us
fetchmail: Queuing for example.net started
fetchmail: Polling mail.rollernet.us

then:
# fetchmail -p ETRN -P 25 --fetchdomains example.net mail.rollernet.us
fetchmail: Queuing for example.net started
fetchmail: Polling mail.rollernet.us

and fineally:
# fetchmail -p ETRN --fetchdomains example.net mail.rollernet.us
fetchmail: Queuing for example.net started
fetchmail: Polling mail.rollernet.us

strange the ping opened the route to the server.
