Yesterday I inadvertently posted this to a poster
instead of the list. I should and *do* know better
- it was accidental and I didn't notice. Sorry.

You really need to provide detailed information then, relevant excerpts
from the output you get when running "fetchmail -Nvv" (with daemon mode
on) for instance.
I've been in an Internet desert for a few days and couldn't
reply. Thanks for this suggestion. Sometimes when there
is a mail there to be fetched I get an "Invalid Command" from
fetchmail but it still seems to fetch the mail ok' It
isn't clear where it comes from - it goes to STDERR and
so far when I've done 2>&1 it hasn't occurred (at least there's
nothing I can find in the trace.
The worse problem shows in this below:
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Bye-bye.
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying mail.plus.net (protocol POP3) at Fri 29 Apr
2005 00:29:28 BST: poll completed
fetchmail: not swapping UID lists, no UIDs seen this query
fetchmail: Query status=1 (NOMAIL)
fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file.
fetchmail: sleeping at Fri 29 Apr 2005 00:29:28 BST

There was a mail waiting but it never got fetched. It
seems that like some humans, it wakes, looks at its clock,
decides it wasn't time to wake, then goes back to sleep.
But it goes on and on and ....
So from my niaive corner I'm wondering .... could it be
related to time representation ? Does FC3 represent
time dffferntly to other linuxes ?
hmmmmmmm
