RE: [fetchmail]Fetchmail, pop3 and large messages

2002-02-11 07:06:12
  Sorry about the HTML format...  I am sure I've set Outlook to plain
text.  I'll try again and if it is still HTML, I'll use another email
software...

  I just upgraded to fetchmail 5.9.6.  As for the size of the message,
looks like it is around 2.3M (from the SIZE in the logs).

  Here is what sendmail is writing in it's log:

Feb 10 07:00:35 ahost sm-mta[19153]: g1AC04pX019153:

  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.
