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

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

Dear Rob,

On the adsl line the same box works fine.
And if they use outlook on the satellite it works fine so they say it is the fetchmail.

The -vvv
gives me:


Remember it happens on random messages and if I go in via webmail and delete this one it can happen again in the future on another one.

fetchmail: POP3> LIST 12
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 12 3073
fetchmail: POP3> TOP 12 99999999
fetchmail: POP3< +OK
reading message :12 of 126 (3073 octets)
