How to troubleshoot this error? I've done hours of googling but can't find anything that helps.
fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name of pop-server.triad.rr.com (pop-server.triad.rr.com): Name or service not known fetchmail: Query status=11 (DNS) If I replace "pop-server.triad.rr.com" with the IP in .fetchmailrc, then fetchmail works fine, and very fast. ping and nslookup get the dns done as expected. Here is my ~/.fetchmailrc: # pop-server.triad.rr.com # IP is 71.74.56.73 poll pop-server.triad.rr.com proto pop3 auth password user "hlawson" password "PASSWD" sslproto ssl23 Something very similar happens with emacs gnus in relation to its news server. This is a squeeze trial install. My regular Debian is lenny, and it works fine. For some reason, squeeze puts the ethernet interface on eth0, while in lenny it's eth1.
