From looking at the output I would guess that something (in the SMTP delivery) is taking too long which causes your ISP's POP server to timeout on you. What are you using as the MDA in fetchmail? I simply use '/usr/sbin/exim %T' and it delivers locally (via procmail). It appears that you are using fetchmail to perform and SMTP transfer for each message that it retrieves from the POP server and that is taking too long. I have noticed, however, that sometimes when I send a message from mutt, it "hangs" for longer than I think it should while it says "sending message". I imagine that is caused by something with exim acting a bit slower sometimes. Maybe you are having a similar problem? HTH, -D
