Exactly. I've noticed that fetchmail has some long delays when it's compiled with ipv6. In that case it's probably doing ipv6 lookup first then waiting for timeout and then finally doing ipv4 lookup. As a result I've been downloading ~80 mails for half an hour. It's very annoying especially when you know that ipv6 support hasn't been enabled by you. -- Daniel Vrcic -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
