Sorry, but I'm not sure why the output went to the console with your previous installation. Well, in a sense it does but it is not as it used to be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ fetchmail 2 messages for 14308112 at pop.gmx.net (231717 octets). reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 2 (2985 octets) ..fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to /usr/bin/procmail -d %T flushed reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2 of 2 (228732 octets) ... flushed I saw this in the manpage of fetchmail: The --syslog option (keyword: set syslog) allows you to redirect status and error messages emitted to the syslog(3) system daemon if available. Messages are logged with an id of fetchmail, the facility LOG_MAIL, and priorities LOG_ERR, LOG_ALERT or LOG_INFO. This option is intended for logging status and error messages which indicate the status of the daemon and the results while fetching mail from the server(s). and in the past it used to be: set syslog Do error logging through syslog(3). Well, I guess I have to live with it - it seems like it is a upstream change ?! If you look at the descripption of --showdots command line option you'll see that fetchmail is supposed to write the dots if it is attached to a tty, but ... By the way I just noticed that the --logfile option doesn't produce a logfile as suggested no matter if set syslog is in the config file or not. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

FWIW, I am using fetchmail configured to run as a daemon under cygrunsrv and my output is still going to my log file as before. So, I haven't noticed any differences between 6.2.5 and 6.3.1.
