Thanks for keeping fetchmail maintained!

something with the fetchmailrc parser changed. Mine looks like this:

defaults proto pop3
   mda "spamc -U /var/run/spamd/socket -x -e /usr/bin/maildrop -d %T"

poll mx.freenet.de user xxxxx pass xxxxxxx fetchall ssl
poll pop.gmail.com user yy...@gm... pass yyyy fetchall ssl
[...]

which worked here fine all the time. With the alpha:

$ fetchmail -v
fetchmail: 6.2.6.alpha1 querying cip.rz.fh-offenburg.de (protocol POP3) 
at Sat, 02 Jul 2005 23:33:19 +0200 (CEST): poll started

fetchmail: POP3< +OK <105...@mx...>
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3< +OK
fetchmail: POP3< EXPIRE NEVER
fetchmail: POP3< TOP
fetchmail: POP3< UIDL
fetchmail: POP3< USER
fetchmail: POP3< XAUTHLIST
fetchmail: POP3< XSENDER
fetchmail: POP3< STLS
fetchmail: POP3< .
fetchmail: POP3> USER xxxxxxx pass
fetchmail: POP3< +OK user ok
fetchmail: POP3> PASS *
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR permission denied

note the "pass" after "USER xxxxxxx", which seems to come from fetchmailrc.

And when terminating:

fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL)
fetchmail: Error deleting No such file or directory: ì
ÿ0è/ÖþÿÄ
PhZÿ5¨è
fetchmail: Error deleting No such file or directory: ì

Or when I press ctrl-c:

fetchmail: terminated with signal 2
fetchmail: Error deleting No such file or directory: ì
ÿ0è/ÖþÿÄ
PhZÿ5¨è
