Hello, i had the same problem. I cant resolve it. The -only- way to
resolve is to change the pop3 server to be fetched. for example, mail
fetched from my older ISP, crashed my fetchmail with the same error
that your fetchmail. I try -THE SAME CONFIG- but change the pop3 server
in fetchmailrc file, and never shows me this error.....
Try to use another pop3 server or contact with your pop3 isp admins....

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

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
