OMG! It's even worse than I thought! For some reason fetchmail is also looking for certificates for the standard pop mail servers that I am also polling. I'm not seeing anything like that on my linux box. Why the devil is fetchmail looking for issuer certificates for mail.akwebsoft.com? My other mail server...
I suspect that there are profound syntax differences between fetchmailrc on darwin than linux. -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com
