[fetchmail]Polling multiple hosts.

Hi,

I have a problem regarding fetchmail.  Here's my .fetchmailrc:

##############################################################################
### administrative options
# don't put a "received" header; be invisible
set invisible

poll pop.gmx.net protocol pop3
        user rakhesh(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net is csu96154 and user 
raleign(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net is csu96154
        keep
        forcecr
        no rewrite

##############################################################################

Then when trying to fetch mail from rakhesh(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net, I get the 
following:

$ fetchmail -u rakhesh(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net -s pop.gmx.net
Warning: multiple mentions of host pop.gmx.net in config file
Enter password for rakhesh(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net@pop.gmx.net: 
Enter password for rakhesh(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net@pop.gmx.net: 

It takes the password twice, and polls the server twice with the same user
name.  Why does it do that ? Shouldn't it poll just once.

Thanks.
