Public bug reported:
fetchmail release 6.3.9-rc2+GSS+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS+KRB5.
Running on Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.38-14-generic-pae
Connecting to Australian ISP Optus.
For some months, mail delivery would stop after a few days. Recently the
period before delivery stops shrank down to just hours.
Finally I investigated instead of just restarting fetchmail.
The last fetchmail message in the log file was an "awakened" message from the
day before - like
it just died silently or locked up. Behold (manual restart at 21:51 next day):

Fetchmail is still running:

One other odd thing - although in fetchmailrc I specify a logfile,
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
and Ubuntu starts fetchamil with --syslog, and I get a message when fetchmail
starts that
* Restarting mail retriever agent:
fetchmail: Warning: syslog and logfile are set. Check both for logs!
and I checked that the fetchmail user could write to the separate fetchmail log
file:
# sudo -u fetchmail sh -c "echo 'manual test' > /var/log/fetchmail.log"
# cat /var/log/fetchmail.log
manual test
fetchmail itself never writes anything to /var/log/fetchmail.log
