Hi,
I'm using postfix with fetchmail (output of option -V) :
"This is fetchmail release 5.9.13+POP2+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL"
And I'm using it as a deamon started by rcfetchmail
with /etc/fetchmailrc like:
#
set postmaster "postmaster" ;
set daemon 100 ;
set no bouncemail ;
set no spambounce ;
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail ;
poll SERVER1 protocol POP3 : user USER1 there with password PW1 is LUSER1
here ;
poll SERVER2 protocol POP3 : user USER2 there with password PW2 is LUSER1
here ;
#
The problem is that fetchmail hangs when one of the server is not responding
any more.
This appears in /var/log/fetchmail:

And after some days, I noticed this and I saw 4 connections established
before I used "rcfetchmailrc restart".
Looking in the log, it appeared ones the day before but fetchmail could
still collect mails.
( After these 3 times of timeout, I didn't see any more incoming mail in the
log. So, I don't know if it was still working.) Some of the TCP connections
never go down.
How can I resolve this problem ?
Regards,
Miguel
