Eric, I have not touched the BTS yet, as I do not know if you and Paul had
any sort of special arrangement for dealing with the bug reports filled with
debian. If you want to arrange anything on that topic, just drop me an
email. I'll probably start weeding through the BTS reports later this week.
We had no special arrangement. Earlier today I sent him the following
resolutions:
#78963: Cosmetic error in fetchmail.1
#63064: fetchmail: Build process nit
#65505: Fetchmail returns 0 on Ctrl-C
These are fixed. The changes will be released in 5.6.5.
#81312: fetchmail dies with a segfault if an nameserver failure appears
#78796: fetchmail: fetchmail crashes after encountering "nameserver failures"
This bug was fixed in 5.6.1 (as #81312 notes)
#78363: fetchmail: fetchmail{,-ssl} frees the same pointer twice
This was fixed in 5.5.5.
#78149: fetchmail: fetchmail segfaults on POP3 fetches
Fetchmail is not capable of emitting the message texts you're seeing.
This is a low-level networking error in your socket layer.
#68627: fetchmail: Fetchmail periodically hangs on external call to uname
This was fixed in 5.3.6, as the person reporting it notes.
#67559: fetchmail: fetchmail corrupts pop3 mailbox
This is a server error, not fetchmail's problem. Would you
please send me a copy of the server's greeting line so I can
warn people about it?
#63308: Fetchmail ate my mail
Pilot error. If you had RTFM, you'd know that 501 is one of
the default antispam responses. This can be changed.
#63088: fetchmail: -M or -I options make fetchmail not get mail
Fixed as a side-effect of a change in 5.5.4.
#71428: fetchmail doesn't compile
Fixed in 5.6.2.

Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what
the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An
armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the
final defense against tyranny.
If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only
the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of
our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to
be among the outlaws.
