I have fetchmail running in multi-drop mode and generally
all things are fine.
Every now and again no mails come thru so I run fetchmail
-v and the process starts downloading a given mails message
body, all the stars. Somewhere in this process everything
seems to hang and eventually I get the 300 second timeout
error.
I then go into my ISP's webmail utility and remove the
offending mail and all the rest come down fine. (The
offending email opens fine in the web client) The ISP is
using qmail and vpopmail.
Please find below my fetchmailrc file.
Any input greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Robert
