When I was setting fetchmail up, I had "options keep" in my fetchmailrc file to make sure that I could still access mail on the server should I have a problem. Once I was confident that all was working OK (mailfilter, fetchmail, exim and mutt) I removed the keep option. However, when I checked the server after download, there were still a bunch of messages on there. I then put "options flush" in the rc file which cleared all the backlog messages. I was then able top remove the flush option and mail continues to be removed from the server after download. My assumption is that fetchmail will only delete messages that it has downloaded during the current session. > > SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error > Jan 6 11:18:54 seal fetchmail[8692]: socket error while fetching from > pop3.cybersmart.co.za > > after wich it polls my backup spooling server and the process dies ?? > with the following > > terminated with signal 13 > > Any input would be grate.
