Under debian frozen, kernel 2.2.15. Somewhere around a week ago, fetchmail started hanging on me. After fairly thorough investigation I'm still not sure just what changed to cause this, or even whether it's client side or server; though, I think it's something on the server, because I didn't change anything that I'm aware of, and a different pop server looks to be working. If it is the server, I still need to work around it...
The behavior is this: orbit:~> fetchmail --all 79 messages for paulp at pop.ricochet.net (325997 octets). reading message 1 of 79 (3312 octets) . [and now hang here] Eventually it times out. The first message gets delivered locally at that point, but not deleted from the server. I thought it might have something to do with the message itself, but I manually deleted the first one that caused this from the pop server and it didn't help. When I telnet to the pop server directly, everything looks fine; messages will display, are properly dot-terminated, etc. Any clues appreciated. -- Paul Phillips | The good Christian should beware of mathematicians [...] Everyman | The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine slap pi uphill! | man in the bonds of Hell. -- St. Augustine
