Still having problems with it, I decided to put tcpdump in action. The
problem is I don't really know much about it. I read the man pages and
understood a little about flags, etc. but don't know a lot of tcp/ip.

I've attached the output of two connections triggered at the same time
for two different users through cron jobs. One of them was successful,
the other one failed with a socket, status=2 result.

The command I issued was:
"tcpdump -v -s1500 -i eth0 -n tcp port 110 -w /tmp/tcpdump.raw"

I've attached the 'text' version of it which I rescued through
"tcpdump -r /tmp/tcpdump.raw"

I know this is a bit off-topic but as this thread started with
fetchmail maybe someone knows help:

TIA,

PD: the mail server is only one and always the same, at least it
resolves always to a single IP.
