[fetchmail]What's the expected behavior upon auth fail in daemon mode?

A warning mail, then the daemon quitting, from what I remember when I
first started using fetchmail.

Only now I've found it doesn't - it just silently keeps on
trying. Since I couldn't find anything about this in the documentation,
I begin to mistrust my memory (happens more and more ..).

Could anybody shed some light, please?

Cheers

PS. I posted a similar question here earlier:

no answer, though.
