Back at version 5.9.1 strange protocol warnings began to appear. In 5.9.2
they were still there, but in 5.9.3 they have changed a little. Here is the
output of a normal run when there is no mail for several recent versions:
5.9.0
-----
fetchmail: No mail for jswink at postoffice.pacbell.net
5.9.1, 5.9.2
------------
fetchmail: No mail for jswink at postoffice.pacbell.net
fetchmail: Polling postoffice.pacbell.net
ODMR connection to postoffice.pacbell.net failed: Connection refused
fetchmail: unsupported protocol selected.
fetchmail: No mail for jswink at postoffice.pacbell.net
fetchmail: POP2 support is not configured.
fetchmail: Query status=4 (PROTOCOL)
5.9.3
-----
fetchmail: No mail for jswink at postoffice.pacbell.net
fetchmail: POP2 support is not configured.
fetchmail: Query status=4 (PROTOCOL)
I ran all of these versions today to make sure it wasn't pacbell modifying
the mail system.
Here is the output of fetchmail -vv with version 5.9.3
