[fetchmail]Password not recognized by new ISP

2004-05-06 21:49:04
Hello,

I had a perfectly working postfix+fetchmails setup. Now I am changing ISP,
so I chenged settings to use the new smtp and POP3 server (mail.mclink.it
in both cases).

sending mail outside works just fine. Accessing incoming email with the ISP
webmail interface also works. Using the same account name and password of
the webmail in fetchmail aborts as follows. What should I change?

TIA,

Marco F.

###############################################
account name is  MLXXXX, aliased to xyz(_at_)mclink(_dot_)it
Using MLXXXX and password webmail works OK. Putting them in fetchmail:

poll mail.mclink.it with proto POP3 auth password
user MLXXXX there with password LAPASSWORD is marco here fetchall

I get:

fetchmail: POP3< +OK MC-link POP3 Server (Version 4.24) ready.
fetchmail: POP3> USER MLXXXX
fetchmail: POP3< +OK please send PASS command
fetchmail: POP3> PASS *
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR invalid usercode or password, please try again
fetchmail: invalid usercode or password, please try again
fetchmail: Authorization failure on MLXXXX(_at_)mail(_dot_)mclink(_dot_)it
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR POP3 Server Abnormal Shutdown: Fatal program error!

06:09:11 +0200 (CEST): poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL)

using the xyz alias I get the same error message. Omitting AUTH PASSWD yelds:
