Greetings,

I have just released fetchmail 6.2.9-rc8, the hopefully last release
candidate before 6.3.0. It fixes two regressions introduced into -rc7
and fixes another minor bug. Some polish was added to manual page and
error messages.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Support call - fetchmail needs funding:
<https://developer.berlios.de/developer/make_donation.php?user_id=2007>
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

For distributors, please upload this to every unstable/testing/current
distribution that you have (do not upload to "stable", it changes
behavior in a few places) to expose this to wider testing.

Changes since -rc7 are:
* POP2 is obsolete. Support for POP2 may be removed from a future fetchmail
  version without further notice. (MA)
* When eating IMAP message trailer, don't see any line containing "OK" as the
  end of the trailer, but wait for the proper tagged OK line. To work around
  the qmail + Courier-IMAP problem in Debian Bug#338007. Matthias Andree
* Fix Debian Bug#317761: when trying to send a bounce message, don't bail out
  if we cannot qualify our own hostname, so we aren't losing the bounce.
  Instead, pass the buck on to the SMTP server and use our own unqualified
  hostname. Matthias Andree
* Revise some error messages so they are less confusing. Sunil Shetye.
* Man page: update --smtphost documentation. Matthias Andree
* Man page: clarify --loghost works only while detached. Matthias Andree
(not in the NEWS file:)
* Fix -rc7 crash when our own hostname cannot be qualified when we are
  to send a bounce. Matthias Andree

I seek everyone to test it out, report remaining bugs, update outdated
translations (send your translated .po files to the translation
project's robot, it'll forward your translation to the -devel list) or
send patches for documentation or report inconsistencies (including
formatting!) in the documentation.

The software is available from:
