Thanks, you're correct. 'man fetchmail' under 'EXIT CODES' says |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
2 An error was encountered when attempting to open a socket |
| 17 |
to retrieve mail. If you don't know what a socket is, |
| 18 |
don't worry about it -- just treat this as an 'unrecoverable error'. |
| 19 |
This error can also be because a protocol fetchmail wants to use |
| 20 |
is not listed in /etc/services. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
It looks like that latter, but 'services' has > 1100 lines . |
| 23 |
'.fetchmailrc' uses 'sslproto', but otherwise I don't know what it wants. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The simple solution is to have Procmail treat these msgs as spam, |
| 26 |
but it wb nice to know just what service it's failing to find. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Any suggestions ? |
