[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail Socket error on a satellite connection

[Ben J. <be...@po...>]

Dear All,
I am having trouble downloading mail via POP3 with the latest 6.3.8 and all versions.

I tried popping the same account from a adsl line and it worked but when I do it over the satellite connection it fails.

When I connect to the pop3 server some mails are downloaded but with some it is stopping.
Not sure what is causing it.

Trying to connect to 127.0.0.1/25...connected.
