[fetchmail]Fetchmail and CAPA bug

2004-04-04 07:47:17
Hi,

I've just opened the following bug for Fedora Devel (Rawhide). I'm
posting it here too in case this is a more appropriate destination.

Anyway, here is the bug :

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119894

           Summary: Fetchmail and CAPA
           Product: Red Hat Raw Hide
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: fetchmail


Description of problem:

I have lots of mail accounts on different isps - I sort of like to
collect them I guess (and it's handy sometimes). Mail is centralized
using procmail when possible and a master fetchmail on my home box if
not.

Recently however one account started giving odd warnings (which is
annoying since fetchmail is in crontab so I have to > /dev/null all
fetchmail output to avoid being mailbombed, and this hides real
errors). Another one sends fetchmail into an infinite loop.

Both problems seem to be linked to CAPA :

1. First isp : annoying warning 

fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying pop.ifrance.com (protocol POP3) at Sat Apr 
3 00:11:21 2004: poll started
fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 server ready
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR invalid command, user waited
fetchmail: invalid command, user waited <<<<<<<<< non-blocking warning
fetchmail: POP3> USER nicolas.mailhot
fetchmail: POP3< +OK nicolas.mailhot, i need your password

2. Second isp : infinite loop

fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying pop.wanadoo.fr (protocol POP3) at Sat Apr  3
00:11:26 2004: poll started
fetchmail: POP3< +OK connected to pop3 proxy on mwinf1004
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR unknown command
fetchmail: unknown command
fetchmail: Repoll immediately on 
Nicolas(_dot_)Mailhot(_at_)pop(_dot_)wanadoo(_dot_)fr
fetchmail: POP3< +OK connected to pop3 proxy on mwinf0203
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR unknown command
fetchmail: unknown command
fetchmail: Repoll immediately on

fetchmail: Repoll immediately on 
Nicolas(_dot_)Mailhot(_at_)pop(_dot_)wanadoo(_dot_)fr

fetchmail: POP3< -ERR unknown command
fetchmail: unknown command
fetchmail: Repoll immediately on 
Nicolas(_dot_)Mailhot(_at_)pop(_dot_)wanadoo(_dot_)fr
fetchmail: POP3< +OK connected to pop3 proxy on mwinf0101
...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

fetchmail-6.2.5-1

How reproducible:

Always

Is there a way to tell fetchmail to ommit CAPA on some servers ?
Seem some of them really do not like it. The man page is absolutely
silent on CAPA.
