Not worried about the CRON thing anymore - it is working. Still not getting messages into the system, but I don't believe it is CRON. Maybe this is closer to the problem - it's so rare that I am required to deal with OTRS anymore that I forget how to troubleshoot the thing - I checked the log (duh!) and found that 5 days ago something caused authentication to fail: [Fri May 25 15:29:25 2007][Error][Kernel::System::Email::SMTP::Send][76] SMTP authentication failed! Enable debug for more info! [Fri May 25 15:50:02 2007][Error][main::FetchMail][166] Auth for user customerservice2@mail.dalsym.com failed! Rinse repeat But, I kind of already had that idea before even looking at the log, so I changed the passwords for the POP3 account - so I am no longer seeing that message and in fact a couple of messages did drop into the system after I made that modification: [Wed May 30 09:50:29 2007][Notice][main::FetchMail] Fetched 20 email(s) from customerservice2@mail.dalsym.com. But like I said there are over 200 messages in that mailbox - why only fetch 20 of them?? Here are the most recent log entries - I do not understand the PID message but believe that to be a problem.

I'll look around in the documentation as well - thanks!

You can also manually force the postmasterpop3.pl by running it from the BIN dir located in otrs folder.

I received a call from the department using it and was notified that there are no new emails arriving in the system for the past few days. All messages go to a single POP3 account and imports the messages into the OTRS system and from there the messages are routed into the queues based on Subject or To / From filters. I have verified that the password is correct in Active Directory, Config.pm, and set through the interface. I now have a backlog of over 200 messages - how can I force the system to import them? This used to happen automatically (I never even setup a CRON job) but now they are not being pulled over. Windows 2003 Server OTRS 2.1.7 MySQL Exchange 2000 Thanks! Nathan Campbell
