I've recently experienced a bizarre failure... and I wondered if anyone |
2 |
else has experienced something similar or has a suggestion to avoid a |
3 |
similar annoyance in future. |

I run fetchmail to poll 3 servers every minute... and while this has |
6 |
worked fine for weeks, last night it froze at 2am and stopped polling. |
7 |
When I killed the fetchmail process and ran fetchmail again this |
8 |
afternoon, things jumped to life again and appear back to normal... but |
9 |
I wished I didn't have to make the manual intervention. Fetchmail is |
10 |
version "6.2.5.2+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+INET6+NLS" from portage and has the |
11 |
following in ~/.fetchmailrc |
12 |
|

-- |
14 |
set postmaster "postmaster@localhost" |
15 |
set no bouncemail |
16 |
set no spambounce |
17 |
set logfile .fetchmail.log |
18 |
set properties "" |

The tail of the trace file read: |
