[fetchmail] fetchmail hangs

2002-07-13 12:45:09
Hi, 

[Please Cc: as I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks.]

I have a strange problem with fetchmail on a Debian Woody machine. The
constellation is that the local machine polls mails from three sources: 

----------8<----------
poll pop.gmx.net:
  protocol pop3
  user britta(_dot_)hentschel(_at_)gmx(_dot_)de is britta here
  password "<secret>"

poll kunden.dnx.de localdomains schwebel.de:
  aka schwebel.de
  protocol pop3
  envelope "Envelope-to"
  no dns
  user postbote(_at_)schwebel(_dot_)de with password "<secret>" is * here

poll kunden.dnx.de localdomains pengutronix.de:
  aka pengutronix.de
  protocol pop3
  envelope "Envelope-to"
  no dns
  user postbote(_at_)pengutronix(_dot_)de with password "<secret>" is * here
---------->8----------

Exim on the local machine cares for the domains pengutronix.de and
schwebel.de, so I had to define a separate router for
britta(_dot_)hentschel(_at_)gmx(_dot_)de to be recognized as local (which works 
according
to 'exim -d9 -bt ...'). 

Now the problem: 

Polling mails for the 2nd and 3rd server works like a charm. But the
first one leads to a timeout: 

----------8<----------
sternchen:~# fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc 
3 messages for britta(_dot_)hentschel(_at_)gmx(_dot_)de at pop.gmx.net (44517 
octets).
reading message britta(_dot_)hentschel(_at_)gmx(_dot_)de@pop.gmx.net:1 of 3 
(41817 octets)
---------->8----------

It simply stops here: adding -v -v shows this: 

----------8<----------
fetchmail: POP3> LIST
fetchmail: POP3< +OK mailbox has 3 messages (44517 octets)
fetchmail: POP3< 1 41817
fetchmail: POP3< 2 1003
fetchmail: POP3< 3 1697
fetchmail: POP3< .
fetchmail: POP3> RETR 1
fetchmail: POP3< +OK message follows
reading message britta(_dot_)hentschel(_at_)gmx(_dot_)de@pop.gmx.net:1 of 3 
(41817 octets)
---------->8----------

This looks to me like the POP server does not start sending here. 

The strange thing is that if I try to poll on another machine (with
fetchmail-5.4.0, and Postfix from SuSE 7.2) with the same fetchmailrc it
works. Any idea?
