Hello,

In the past I have had fetchmail working with no problems. I did an update world the other night and now fetchmail seems to fail to get my mail. Here is the output

Code:

fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying cedar-rapids.net (protocol POP3) at Thu Jan  8 08:55:16 2004: poll started
fetchmail: POP3< +OK X1 MailServer, Com-Link, Inc.

fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 2759
fetchmail: POP3> TOP 1 99999999
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 2759 octets
reading message jaalex@rapids.net:1 of 4 (2759 octets)


It just sits at reading messages until I kill the process. Anyone seen this problem before.

Thanks
Jason

In my case, fetchmail (also a new update) would get as far as reading how many messages there were and die with a socket error. Looking at the logs on the server side, it indicated seeing an EOF in the stream. I pulled down the sources ('emerge -pf fetchmail' to find the source tarball), did a ./configure;make; and the result is working for me. But I notice that this new build isn't using (or even trying) SSL, which makes me wonder if it isn't partly an SSL issue.

Well this turned out to be casued by my postfix config. I added a local-domain-names files and told postfix to accept mail for those domains. I guess that messed something up becasue when I uncommented it things worked fine.

Can you give more details on exactly what you did to do this?
