hello all, fetchmail has been awesome and worked flawlessly for years for me, thats why this is so odd. my system is redhat fedora core 3ish (i upgrade packages as I need to) anyway I had an rpm of fetchmail 5.9.12 installed which was working fine. I did something dumb with postfix and stopped receiving mail, while troubleshooting it I upgraded fetchmail to fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.i386.rpm. Once I found my problem with postfix I verified that fetchmail could connect to my univeristy IMAP account and it started downloading my mail. Great. Several days later I realized I was no longer receiving mail from my comcast.new pop3 acocunt which is AFTER my IMAP account in my fetchmailrc file. After trying a number of different RPMs I grabbed my old working fetchmail binary from a backup and low and behold everything was fine again. As you can see from the enclosed files there is not much of an error. More like a lack of anything. I tried to capture the pop3 packets with ethereal and never saw anything after the host lookup. So anyway I was curious if anyone had any ideas. Right now I am fine running 5.9.12. I have tried the earliest RPM I can find which is fetchmail-5.9.13-1.i386.rpm and it has the same problems. Output from both the working and non-working versions is included below. -- fetchmailrc file -- poll mail.comcast.net with proto pop3: user xxxxxxxxx is xxxxxxxx here pass xxxxxxxxx options fetchall -- output of fetchmail -v -v version 5.9.12 [620] christmas /home/denis% fetchmail -v -v fetchmail: 5.9.12 querying mail.comcast.net (protocol POP3) at Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:54:21 -0500 (EST): poll started fetchmail: POP3< +OK (rwcrpxc60) Maillennium POP3/PROXY server #176 fetchmail: POP3> USER xxxxxxxxxx fetchmail: POP3< +OK fetchmail: POP3> PASS fetchmail: POP3< +OK ready fetchmail: selecting or re-polling default folder fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 0 fetchmail: No mail for xxxxxxxxx at mail.comcast.net fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK comcast.net fetchmail: 5.9.12 querying mail.comcast.net (protocol POP3) at Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:54:24 -0500 (EST): poll completed fetchmail: not swapping UID lists, no UIDs seen this query fetchmail: Query status=1 (NOMAIL) fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file. fetchmail: normal termination, status 1 fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file. -- output of fetchmail -v -v version 5.9.13 [624] christmas /home/denis% fetchmail -v -v fetchmail: 5.9.13 querying mail.comcast.net (protocol POP3) at Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:56:18 -0500 (EST): poll started fetchmail: fetchmail: getaddrinfo(mail.comcast.net.pop3) fetchmail: 5.9.13 querying mail.comcast.net (protocol POP3) at Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:56:18 -0500 (EST): poll completed fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file. fetchmail: normal termination, status 2 fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file. -- output of fetchmail -V version 5.9.12 [637] christmas /home/denis% fetchmail -V This is fetchmail release 5.9.12 Linux christmas.auspice.net 2.6.6 #7 Sun Jun 27 15:44:05 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Taking options from command line and /home/denis/.fetchmailrc Idfile is /home/denis/.fetchids Fetchmail will forward misaddressed multidrop messages to denis.
