[fetchmail]socket error while fetching workarounds

2001-09-30 08:39:33
Regarding:
O9. Why does fetchmail keep retrieving the same messages over and
over?

I will try the solution
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps 
However, I need to know will this have side effects and does it need
to be done each session?  Where? in ppp/ip-up?

To deal with this
Sep 30 20:17:54 localhost fetchmail[5961]: POP3> DELE 1^M 
Sep 30 20:17:58 localhost fetchmail[5961]: socket error while fetching from 
pop.mail.yahoo.com.tw
Sep 30 20:17:58 localhost fetchmail[5961]: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
I've even set fetchlimit to 1... indeed it does help mostly... by the way,

I want to instead of setting a short interval, have it reconnect to
the mailbox right after disconnecting... until one by one the messages
are deleted... then go into the sleep period sequence.  I don't see
how to do this in the docs:

while sleep interval;do
        do connect; get $fetchlimit messages; disconnect
        until (there were no more messages on the server); done
done
