Yes, but on the other hand I don't want to make the logging too verbose.
Right now fetchmail tries to avoid logging anything but exception and error
conditions unless -v (verbose) is on. Hiave you considered psarsing the
-v output?
Can I vote strongly for this not being standard! I'd have an entry in my
log every 2 minutes :-) [I should point out that it doesn't access any mail
server at 2 minute intervals, the shortest is 4 for my own ISP.]
