Hi,
i am using linode as my emails backup MX server, there are a lot of emails i should poll to my local machine from linode.com, i run the command:
fetchmail -v ETRN linode.com
but no luck, the result is:
...connection failed.
fetchmail: connection to linode.com:imap failed: Connection refused.
IMAP connection to linode.com failed: Connection refused

And how i can configure uucp for linode.com?

Unless you're actually using Linode's own e-mail server for your e-mail (which is highly unlikely), I suggest you use the hostname or IP address of your own Linode server instead of linode.com.

Thanks for reply i use the server name that was message to me from linode.com wiht fetchmail ETRN but sitll i get this error:
fetchmail: 6.3.9 querying ETRN (protocol auto) at Mon 05 Oct 2009 05:09:48 PM AFT: poll started

Fetchmail wants to connect to an IMAP server; ETRN is a SMTP command. UUCP is an entirely different method as well. All three methods are ways to get mail from one place to another, but only one of the three will work.

Can you provide some more information, perhaps the domain name or an e-mail address you're trying to get mail for, or any tutorials or information the administrator of 64.95.64.198 sent you with regards receiving e-mail?

Thanks!

I think this is what you're after:

fetchmail -p ETRN --fetchdomains <ETRN_LIST> <BACKUP_MX>

ETRN_LIST = Comma separated list of domains you want to 'pull' mail for.
BACKUP_MX = The hostname/ip address of the remote server currently holding the mail for you.

Thanks for the reply this is the output of command above just for security i change the name of real hosts and the ip address:
# fetchmail -v -p ETRN --fetchdomains example.com mx-linode

but i don't know why i didn't get even a single email message?

No messages on the remote server? The remote server still can't connect to the local server? The remote server is (incorrectly?) configured to route the mail elsewhere?

You'll need to investigate the logs on the remote server to see what's going on with it.
