[fetchmail]fetchmail 5.8.3 --syslog problem

2001-05-15 21:08:04
Hello there.

When applying syslog output with fetchmail using the "set syslog" option in
.fetchmailrc, fetchmail will write out the fetching messages to the syslog but
it will write out the .....s to stdout.

(I assume this isn't normal, I expected fetchmail to be silent when doing
syslog output (except for stderr messages))

Incidentally I think that fetchmail logs too much stuff by default. Just a
simple "starting fetch" message would be nice, maybe a syslog verbosity option?

using:
fetchmail -a
(with "set syslog" in the .fetchmailrc)
