Quoting from Sunil Shetye's mail on Sat, Nov 30, 2002 at 10:14:20AM +0530:
Its in the thread "Fetchmail repeatedly processing the same mail". See
<http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2002-November/002787.html>
I am sending the patch again. It is the same as the previous one
except for the extra newline in the message.
That patch doesn't work as expected. SIGALRM is delivered alright, but
the recv system call is not interrupted after the return from the
handler.
Attached is a patch which fixes the signal handling code in general.
The handler is now set through a generic function. This leads to a
code cleanup and the use of sigaction() consistently. Calls to
sigaction() and signal() are now not mixed.
Also, this patch fixes the return type of the signal handlers for
consistency.
This is a replacement for the previous smtp-ok patch.
Sunil Shetye.
