This seems to be OK. Basically I just copied from the manual.

Dropping the "auth" did the job on syntax. Funny, I added it because I
was getting connection refused--host unknown. That error has not
returned (yet). Now I'm back to "couldn'y find canonical DNS name for
pop.sbc... normal termination, status 11" From the manual:
11 Fatal DNS error. Fetchmail encountered an error while performing a
DNS lookup at startup and could not proceed.
What's the cure here? I did check, and found that one of the DNS
servers for sbc has changed, so I changed /etc/resolv.conf to no avail.
Any hints? Did you have a prob?
