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!

POP3 Account problem
Are you running otrs on linux, if so you
will need to login as the OTRS user and run /your/otrs/dir/bin/Cron.sh restart
Then do, crontab –l
See if it lists the postmasterpop3.pl
cron job.
You can also manually force the
postmasterpop3.pl by running it from the BIN dir located in otrs folder.

Subject: [otrs] PostMaster POP3
Account problem
I have had OTRS running for 6 months now and no problems.
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!
