[SOLVED]Fetchmail problem: SMTP error: 451 unable to exec qq

Some background info:

Setup a local mailserver (netqmail+courier-imap+spamassassin+clamav+qmail-scanner) with vpopmail and created a virtual domain (homenet.net). So far so good!
The general idea is to fetch my mail at my ISP (using fetchmail-latest version) and deliver itl to my local virtual users of my local vitual domain.
ISP user a --> virtual user A@homenet.net
ISP user b --> virtual user B@homenet.net

The systems works locally and the server relays non-local mail to my ISP mail server.

The problem is:

Fetchmail can connect to my isp (sees the messages, tries to fetch them but returns SMTP error 451..... for each message. I've been reading the Fetchmail manual but the error code 451 is not documented (452 is :-)

)

my /ctc/fetchmailrc is like:
poll PROVIDER proto pop3 user "login" password "password" is "virtual.user@homenet.net" here

Any ideas?
Thx

Well 451 is a server error (see http://www.qksoft.com/qk-smtp-server/smtp-error-451.html) - it looks like your local server is trying to run a command 'qq' and failing. Check your mailserver logs - there may well be more info there.

Hi Rob1n

Thanks for your quick reply.. I did some googling and it seems related to the qmail-scanner/qmail-queue. I'll do some reading and I'll provide some feedback later.

Ok,

Solution was simple, re-emerging qmail-scanner (2.01) did it. It seemed that during my previous install the qmail-scanner-queue script wasn't created.
Everything works now :-)
