[ You might want to consider putting the entire question in the body, it
makes much more sense that way ]
]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 ..).
Some time back the default was changed, so that you didn't get a DoS on your
email when one server died.
If you check the list archives and/or the changelog you should find the
details of exactly when. It does now log the details to syslog, IMHO a
better solution.
Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
