Re: [fetchmail]Fetchmail, pop3 and large messages

  I am having problems using fetchmail with my pop3 account.  Whenever a
large message is in my mailbox, fetchmail is unable to retrieve it.

<---SNIP--->
fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<anyonel(_at_)anywhere(_dot_)net> SIZE=2448330
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.1.0 <anyonel(_at_)anywhere(_dot_)net>... Sender ok
fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<smmsp(_at_)localhost>
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.1.5 <smmsp(_at_)localhost>... Recipient ok
fetchmail: SMTP> DATA
fetchmail: SMTP< 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds.
<---SNIP--->

First off, please don't send HTML.  It's an utter pain to read.

However, version of fetchmail? It looks like it's making the connection to your smtp server fine, just failing after that.

Is there anything useful from sendmail in the logs?

What's the definition of a "large" message? I've received a 1 MB email in the last couple of days that was downloaded fine. I can test with larger emails easily enough.



   Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
       me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
