Salut Cédric, Uh. That would be a logic bug. I won't have time immediately, so I'd better file an issue in Gitlab so I don't forget. -> https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail/-/issues/85 What's the fetchmail version you're using this with? > So if one of my pop3 servers is unreachable and this is the one choosed by > fetchmail, it does not work. > > Is there a way to tell fetchmail to poll others IP resolved by dns name > "pop.dom.tld" if the first one fails ? You can use the "via" keyword in your rcfile to override fetchmail's idea of where to connect, so you could write "poll hermes.example.org via 10.2.3.5..." or similar. Hope that helps, Matthias |
