I have been getting the following error message from fetchmail. Jul 15 12:51:39 myhost fetchmail[13004]: MDA exited abnormally or returned nonzero status This error message is happening 15 minutes or so. I have upgraded maildrop and fetchmail to the most current versions and the error still continues. How do I find out why maildrop is exiting? My .fetchmailrc has the following entry. user "subb3" with pass "secretpass" is subba here and wants mda "/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d subba" Now that puts maildrop in delivery mode. Since maildrop does not do any logging in delivery mode is there any other way I can modify the maildrop invocation, that will do logging. I would like log to a file and not to standard error.
