Greetings.
According to NEWS file, the following bug have been fixed in fetchmail-5.8.6:
* Brendan Kehoe's patch to avoid doing DNS lookups on skip entries.
I'm using fetchmail-5.8.10 under Linux, and this bug persists. There is the
following entry in my .fetchmailrc:
skip mail.vyborg.com.ru protocol APOP:
user ayp
password [skipped];
Because nameserver of vyborg.com.ru is in deep down, fetchmail says that it
cannot resolve mail.vyborg.com.ru. Moreover, it does not poll other servers
listed in .fetchmailrc. Removing `skip' entry (or commenting it out) solves
problem.
