[fetchmail]Fetchmail fails to fetch mails with ipv6 host, is any patch avail

2004-06-05 00:23:52
Hi list,


As I discussed in my previous mail that trying to fetch mail with ipv6 address  
fails with the error "couldn't find canonical DNS name of 
fe80::230:6eff:fe48:a45b",
now I got it worked to connect with ipv6 address by the  code replacement with 
getipnodebyname instead of gethostbyname( it does not have ipv6 support in my 
OS version of HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64 3738763113). So now I  could succeed with  
connect and authenticate but ending  with "fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)", 
it fails  to fetch the mail as follows, Can anyone give me suggestion or any 
pathc avilab to make it work it out!!!!!!!!

# ./fetchmail -v -u usha fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3
Enter password for usha(_at_)fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3:
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3 (protocol auto) at Sat Jun  
5 11:21:26 2004: poll started
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3 (protocol IMAP) at Sat Jun  
5 11:21:26 2004: poll started
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3 (protocol IMAP) at Sat Jun  
5 11:13:18 2004: poll completed
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3 (protocol POP3) at Sat Jun  
5 11:13:18 2004: poll started
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3 (protocol POP3) at Sat Jun  
5 11:13:18 2004: poll completed
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3 (protocol auto) at Sat Jun  
5 11:13:18 2004: poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: normal termination, status 2

But the above similar test  works for ipv4 host adress, given below:

# ./fetchmail -V  -u usha fe80::230:6eff:fe39:b7b3

Can you provide more verbose output (using -vv) and the output of
fetchmail -V?


hi, thanks for looking into, herez the verbose output of fectmail - v
6.2.25
in HP-UX env  for the ipv6 test( that fails) , but i could succeed with
ipv4
address.
