Show the *exact* error message which you get back from fetchmail, and we
might be able to comment.
Brian.'
I'd happily include the output from fetchmail -v, but I don't have it at the
moment (sometimes it's a socket error I recall). It seems to croak on one
message, and then not download any of the others, even though they're new.
Is this behavior reminiscent of any known problem or bug? Is there a typical
culprit and remedy? My fetchmails are run as daemons and are set to poll our
isp's pop3 Imail server every 10mins. - there are no options in
.fetchmailrc - as above. I have around 12 users. fetchmail seems to then
pass the msgs to sendmail/spamass-milter/clamav which my users query via
qpopper with their Outlook clients.
I will post output fetchmail -v output next time this happens. I appreciate
any speculation in the meantime!
Thanks,
-M
