I set up a system-wide fetchmailrc recently to grab mail for both my gf and myself. It worked fine for a while, automatically receiving mail whenever we connected (PPP) and every 450 seconds as I specified.
Then it just stopped. The process is still running: hawk3:~$ ps ax | grep fetchmail 29365 ? S 0:00 fetchmail --daemon 450 --syslog -f /etc/fetchmailrc -i /var/mail/.fetchmail-UIDL-cache 21157 ttyp1 S 0:00 grep fetchmail The last couple days in /var/log/mail.log (I don't know if that's the best place to look, that was just the best thing I could find while snooping around) are basically multiple lines of: Jul 13 21:56:10 hurricane fetchmail[29365]: Query status=2 (SOCKET) So, any idea what's going on? The configuration is exactly the same as it was when it worked just fine; I'm using sid, but I don't recall getting a new fetchmail version recently. -- Thomas J.
