Re: [fetchmail] [PATCH] fetchmail does DNS lookups even if only signalli

Benjamin Drieu <benj(_at_)debian(_dot_)org>:

here is a patch against fetchmail.c from fetchmail version 6.2.1.  It
should solve Debian bug #108977, which is about an excessive config
file evaluation.


I took that change.

Also, right now, fetchmail does not recognize "--quit" option if argc
is greater than 2.  This prevents things such as
"fetchmail --fetchmailrc /somewhere/in/your/filesystem/fetchmailrc"

Also, it reads its config file and may perform related DNS lookups
even if only signalling a running fetchmail daemon.  This patch
assumes we do not have to read config file in this case.


I'm still studying this one.
