I've got a pop account on HotPop.Com and like every other email account
known to man it's deluged with spam. Occaisionally (about once or twice
a week and getting more frequent) I get socket errors when my fetchmail
daemon tries to download mail from HotPop. There's always a spam message
at the top of the mail queue. If I delete the offending message,
fetchmail happily downloads the rest of them.
Socket errors are an indicator of a communications problem between
fetchmail and the remote server. Little you can do I'm afraid.
If you search the list archive you'll get more detail on what problems
others have had, that result in a socket error.
