[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail & Merak Mail Server

[Rouven S. <rs...@bl...>]

Hello List!

Are there any known issues that affect using fetchmail 6.2.5.2 to pop a
Merak Mail Server (7.4.5)? I am experiencing problems with fetchmail not
recognizing and fetching new messages on that mail server which other
MUA have no problem at all to see and fetch.

fetchmail (debian sarge binary) runs in daemon mode on my site, using
the following config:

set postmaster "postmaster"
set bouncemail
set properties ""

poll mail.domain.tld uidl with proto POP3
user "us...@do..." there with password "password" is user here
options keep

Fetchmails "blindness" disappears when new messages hit that mailbox.

A successfull dialog looks as follows:

fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Capability list follows
fetchmail: POP3< TOP
fetchmail: POP3< USER
fetchmail: POP3< APOP
fetchmail: POP3< EXPIRE NEVER
fetchmail: POP3< UIDL
fetchmail: POP3< SASL CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
fetchmail: POP3< .
fetchmail: POP3> AUTH CRAM-MD5
fetchmail: POP3< + PDIwMDUxMDEwMTk0NzM5QG1haWwucm91dGluZy5uZXQ+
fetchmail: POP3>
YW5kcmVhcy5lZ25lckBsb2N6b25lLmRlIDYxMDBmY2MyMjZiNmVmMDM5YjIxYzRiNDNkNDhmYjk1
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 messages 10918 octets

I haven't logged a session that fails, yet, and i am hesitating to do so
since fetchmail outputs quite a lot in verbose mode and the errors
appear in unpredictable ways.

Thanks in advance,
