I noticed yesterday the a couple of my hourly syslog snippets that are emailed to me were missing. Going to Earthlinks webmail page I saw that they were on the server but hadn't been downloaded. Looking at my syslog I saw this: Mar 10 18:31:10 localhost fetchmail[19764]: 1 message for cpollock at pop.earthlink.net (10350 octets). Mar 10 18:31:10 localhost fetchmail[19764]: reading message cpo...@po...:1 of 1 (10350 octets) Mar 10 18:31:12 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/A/IN': 66.218.71.205#53 Mar 10 18:31:12 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/MX/IN': 66.218.71.205#53 Mar 10 18:31:12 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving '_domainkey.joysticktowers.com/TXT/IN': 66.218.71.205#53 Mar 10 18:31:12 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/A/IN': 216.109.116.20#53 Mar 10 18:31:12 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/MX/IN': 216.109.116.20#53 Mar 10 18:31:12 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving '_domainkey.joysticktowers.com/TXT/IN': 216.109.116.20#53 Mar 10 18:31:17 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving '_policy._domainkey.joysticktowers.com/TXT/IN': 216.109.116.20#53 Mar 10 18:31:17 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving '_policy._domainkey.joysticktowers.com/TXT/IN': 66.218.71.205#53 Mar 10 18:31:27 localhost spamd[27732]: dkim: lookup failed: DNS query timeout for _policy._domainkey.joysticktowers.com Mar 10 18:31:29 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/A/IN': 216.109.116.20#53 Mar 10 18:31:29 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/A/IN': 66.218.71.205#53 Mar 10 18:32:23 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/MX/IN': 216.109.116.20#53 Mar 10 18:32:23 localhost named[3842]: FORMERR resolving 'joysticktowers.com/MX/IN': 66.218.71.205#53 Mar 10 18:33:20 localhost fetchmail[19764]: flushed Mar 10 18:33:20 localhost fetchmail[19764]: socket error while fetching from pop.earthlink.net Mar 10 18:33:20 localhost fetchmail[19764]: Query status=2 (SOCKET) I've removed the SA markup portion of the log. Going to my spam folder I saw multiple copies of the same message. The question is, what is causing this, is it: a) a fetchmail issue b) a dkim plugin issue c) a bind issue d) mangled headers causing this e) none of the above but an earthlink issue I'm running fetchmail 6.2.5, mail is downloaded and piped through procmail to the various folders. Thanks for any advice. -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C |

Well, it's hard to say what it is, though as always I'd advise upgrading to the current version of fetchmail. The problem is, you didn't include any logging from your SMTP server. From what little you provided it looks like fetchmail didn't actually download the email. If you can provide the SMTP logs then I may be able to say more. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.

I've just upgraded to 6.3.7 this afternoon. I doubt whether I can get earthlinks smtp logs. The only other way I can think of getting any kind of logging is to run something like ethereal or tcpdump and see what is happening during the mail download, or is there another way? -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C |

No, the SMTP logs from *your* SMTP server :) See the FAQ (http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-FAQ.html#G3) for what information you should be reporting. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.
