I am also running fetchmail from the crontab every 20 min as: /usr/bin/fetchmail -s running fetchmail fom the macro puts me into a terminal where the fetchmail program prints dots to mark its progress. When it is polling the second and especially the following mail-adresses, mails with only say 2500 bytes take approximately 15 seconds on a 6000 mbit broadband cable connection. whereas the mails from the first poll take much less than a second. The problem is not that urgent, since i don't notice it when cron is doing the job. Yet sometimes i want to poll manually and find myself waiting and wondering. cheers, jan
