Hi all,

I'm using fetchmail 5.9.0 on a Redhat 7.2 system.  It's been working
great, but suddenly today I started getting socket errors:

fetchmail: 5.9.0 querying mail.someisp.net (protocol POP3) at Thu 27 Mar
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: 5.9.0 querying mail.someisp.net (protocol POP3) at Thu 27 Mar
I got the same thing also the single dot on an otherwise empty line doesn't 
apply for me, too. As far as I have seen, this was always combined with 
bouncing messages, that have not been accepted by the destination mailserver 
(when delivering mail from a multidrop mbox to an internal SMTP server).
Upgrading to 6.2.2 didn't help either.

I've read R6 of the faq, but that doesn't seem to apply because I was able
to pop all the mail with Outlook Express.  Why would fetchmail suddenly
stop working?
Couldn't find anything that really applied in FAQ or Mailarchives or google 
either... would be great, if somebody could help - I might even be able to 
post an example mail to the list if that would help.

Cheers, and thanks for any ideas,
Arndt
