Topic: Fetchmail segmentation fault

[jeroen]

All of a sudden I get the following errors:

fetchmail: removing stale lockfile
/etc/fetchmail: line 71:  3704 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/fetchmail --syslog --silent --fetchmailrc -  <
set postmaster "postmaster"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
.......(and all the rest of the file)

Get these msg every time fetchmail checks for mail (every 15 mins) Seems there is a msg stuck somewhere, does anybody have any idea how I could get rid of it?

TIA

Hi,

Looks like a faulty mail message is waiting at your pop-box.
Try to Telnet to your ISP pop-box and delete the message manually.

Better to use Panda Mail.

Thanks HFW......That was the problem. Someone sent me 1473 (all the same) emails. Somehow fetchmail got stuck on them. I telnettet in and deleted them all (pheew....) and everything is working again
