[fetchmail] daemon behavior?: short interval + lots of mail

2003-05-21 15:33:27

What is fetchmail's behavior running in daemon mode when the time to
download the mail is greater than the interval?  For example, lets say that
the interval is 60 seconds, but there is so much mail on the server, that
the POP3 session is lasting 90 seconds?  Does the daemon try to download the
mail while the first session is running, potentially causing lots of
problems (duplicate mail, etc.) or is it smart enough to wait, or just fail
out and allow the next poll to pick things up.  Sorry if this has been
answered elsewhere -- I couldn't find it in the docs, FAQ, or google.

Thank you,
Justin Frohwirth
