I've used the same for a while, but that sometimes resulted in strange and annoying delivery errors, that's why I switched to handling this over SMTP. > 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. It usually doesn't take noticeably longer than using the mda option (that is, I as the user don't notice it). I'm of course not sure that the problem is not with exim, but since my fetchmail version has changed whereas exim stayed the same, I look in that direction primarily. Also, while fetchmail was restarted when I re-connected to my ISP, exim wasn't. (A restart of fetchmail alone did nothing to solve the original problem, though) > 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".
