Matthias, I appreciate the tip about FETCHMAILHOME, which seems to imply that multiple instances can run potentially at the same time. I will explore your suggested workaround. Since I access onion servers, I have a lot of wiring outside of fetchmail anyway.
Note that I don't personally have a threat model that makes this capability important to me, but I raised the feature request because it would be a useful security improvement for many to have. If the daemon could handle the scheduling, it would ease things for the user and improve security for many including those who don't have such an exciting threat model. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924622 Title: add a security feature to randomize the fetch schedule To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/+bug/1924622/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
