Rob,
Good question - you don't give us any useful information beyond the error
(and that you're running RH 9). No details on your version of fetchmail or
it's setup.
Sorry, you are quite right... When I first saw this problem I upgraded to the
latest fetchmail (6.2.5) which I compiled from source. Postfix is version
V1.1.11 and is the one that comes with RH9. Below is my .fetchmailrc and
output from fetchmail -V.
