Dunno if this will help.. the command line option of --syslog.
Apparently it will redirect the log from the brain dead log file to the
syslog log file. Even if the fetchmail entry's aren't timestamped,
everything around it will be, so in theory there should be a fairly good
idea of when it happened. But I think anything going into syslog get the
date/time automatically stamped onto it doesn't it?
Dunno whether this is viable for what u need but it's my $0.03 (adjusted
for inflation)
Cheers,
Paul
