Fetchmail problem

« on: September 06, 2007, 08:45:36 AM »

Good day.

I am using Ver 7.2, Standalone Server, with all the latest updates.
If I remember correct I did not have this problem with earlier versions.

I am having problems with Fetchmail retrieving the same mail from my ISP server multiple times. I will download this handful of emails 2 - 20 , or more times before it is cleared from the ISP mail server. It is usually only emails with small attachments, but I have not been able to identify a pattern. Most emails are downloaded correctly but a couple / day are continuously downloaded...

In an attempt to rectify this I have changed from POP to IMAP to no avail.

Any help to diagnose and rectify this problem will be appreciated.

King regards

I have seen the same behavior recently... I do not think it has something to do with the smeserver-fetchmail contrib as that did not change. However I can not remember when the error started occurring to trace back my log files to see what updates have taken place... If I or someone else can (help) pinpoint this error we can make a proper bug report to the correct component either SME Server's bugtracker or at an upstream bugtracker.

I've had a few emails left on the ISP server.

qpsmtp log showed they failed the resolved-host check.

I just used the isp webmail and moved them into a temp folder.
