Re: [fetchmail]Fetchmail and CAPA bug

2004-04-04 08:11:05
Is there a way to tell fetchmail to ommit CAPA on some servers ?

Yes, by looking into the FAQ:

R11. My server is hanging or emitting errors on CAPA.

   Your  POP3  server  is  broken.  You  can  work  around  this with the
   declaration auth password in your .fetchmailrc.


Though the problem you reported should really be fixed. The repoll was
introduced because some servers did not authenticate after they gave an
error on CAPA, but it should not be retried when repolling. Somebody should
look into it, I have no time right now...
