[fetchmail] my odd pop3 address gives error

2003-11-20 12:23:12
Hello all.  Some googling suggests this is the place for my question.

I have had fetchmail up and running fine.  I have another address I'm trying to 
add that is not on my local isp, but on another host where my website lives.  
The setup instructions for this account ask me to use the format 
myname%mydomain.net as my username when I connect with POP.  I'm not sure of 
the purpose of the '%' instead of the usual '@'.  I can connect fine from 
outlook, so I know the account is working.  The info in my .fetchmailrc looks 
good too.

I get the error message:
Authorization failure on myname(_at_)mydomain
Query Status=3 (AUTHFAIL)

I've looked through fetchmail man pages and googled, but haven't found any 
answers.

Thanks
Dan
