Hi all,
I'm not sure what's causing the problem but this is what's happening:
I used to run `fetchmal -q 300` with a .fetchmailrc containing all the users
and their required details. This worked fine and then one day stopped.
If I use Outlook to fetch a POP3 directly from the POP3 server all is OK but
fetchmail can't retrieve anything on any account.
Here is a verbose output and where it stops at:
fetchmail: 5.5.3 querying pop3.server.com.au (protocol POP3) at Mon, 09 Oct
2000 15:35:09 +1100 (EST)
fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 pop3.server.com.au v6.50 server ready
fetchmail: POP3> USER georgev
fetchmail: POP3< +OK User name accepted, password please
fetchmail: POP3> PASS *
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Mailbox open, 1 messages
fetchmail: POP3> STAT
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 348
fetchmail: POP3> LAST
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0
1 message for georgev at pop3.server.com.au (348 octets).
fetchmail: POP3> LIST
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Mailbox scan listing follows
fetchmail: POP3< 1 348
fetchmail: POP3< .
fetchmail: POP3> TOP 1 99999999
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Top of message follows
reading message 1 of 1 (348 octets)
and just hangs there forever....until suddenly...
fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds waiting for listener to respond.
fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from
pop3.server.com.au
fetchmail: Query status=7 (ERROR)
any ideas if this is the server or fetchmail? Server is RH5.2.
Funny thing is that Outlook get mail fine..
thanks,
George Vieira
