My command of "fetchmail" yields an index of messages which hangs and
then after it times out (300 sec), gives the reason for the error as
"7". The manpage says this condition (fetchmail timing out) can occur
"while waiting for the server."
I am using linux 2.2.20, debian woody, exim, and mutt -- service by
dialup to ISP. The mail service worked find until I started playing
around with some not-very-esoteric aspects of the software.
(Unfortunately, I do not remember all that I did, except that I did make
some changes as root (what hubris!).
I'd appreciate any help that can get me and my mail together again. (I
can use webmail to access my mail server, but it's damn tedious.
Ok, the usual chant at this point:
Version of fetchmail?
Copy of fetchmailrc?
Results of fetchmail -v -v?
Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
Reply-to mangled to assist those who don't read the above.
