PS I guess you'r using fetchmail built into/ called from sendmail: & that's why a timeout can occur. I do it a different way: fetchmail called from crontab, & localy delivers to me on gate host, & gate invokes another mail via ~/.forward to my internal network; More processing, but no DNS hang. -- Julian Stacey.
