As I'm not yet on the list, please cc: me with any replies.
Dunno if this is newbie pilot error or a bug, but I can't seem to fix
it and would be grateful for help or pointer to relevant docs:
Problem: messages in the mailbox on the server are being skipped, although
.fetchmailrc specifies fetchall. The first message is
almost always skipped, and others can be. The skipped mails
are not oversized. Here is an example:
fetchmail: 5.8.9 querying ccsl3.concord.internal (protocol APOP) at Mon
Jun 25 11:09:51 2001
fetchmail: 1 message for dyna at ccsl3.concord.internal (3426 octets).
fetchmail: skipping message 1 (3426 octets) not flushed
Information requested in FAQ item G3:
1. OS is Linux-2.4.5ac18 / glibc-2.2.3
2. gcc-2.95.3 was used to build fetchmail-5.8.9
3. +OK csl3 POP3 Server (Version 1.006d) ready at <Mon Jun 25 14:42:53 2001>
4. MDA is procmail-3.15.1
5. /usr/bin/fetchmail -d0 -L /var/log/servicelog
6. This is fetchmail release 5.8.9-IMAP+SSL+NLS
Options for retrieving from dyna(_at_)ccsl3(_dot_)concord(_dot_)internal:
Linux dynamo 2.4.5 pac18#1 20010625:1239 i686 unknown
Taking options from command line and /root/.fetchmailrc
Logfile is /var/log/servicelog
Idfile is /root/.fetchids
Fetchmail will forward misaddressed multidrop messages to glouis.
Options for retrieving from dyna(_at_)ccsl3(_dot_)concord(_dot_)internal:
True name of server is ccsl3.concord.internal.
Protocol is APOP.
All available authentication methods will be tried.
Server nonresponse timeout is 300 seconds (default).
Default mailbox selected.
All messages will be retrieved (--all on).
Fetched messages will not be kept on the server (--keep off).
Old messages will not be flushed before message retrieval (--flush off).
Rewrite of server-local addresses is enabled (--norewrite off).
Carriage-return stripping is enabled (stripcr on).
Carriage-return forcing is disabled (forcecr off).
Interpretation of Content-Transfer-Encoding is enabled (pass8bits off).
MIME decoding is disabled (mimedecode off).
Idle after poll is disabled (idle off).
Nonempty Status lines will be kept (dropstatus off)
Delivered-To lines will be kept (dropdelivered off)
Messages will be delivered with "/usr/bin/procmail -Y -f -".
Recognized listener spam block responses are: 571 550 501 554
Single-drop mode: 1 local name(s) recognized.
No UIDs saved from this host.
This is the first attempt to use fetchmail so I don't know whether
earlier versions worked.
IMAP support may at some point be implemented on the servers but this
is not currently planned.
