Topic: Fetchmail: terminated with signal 13

[Bengt Norhager]

I have some problem with fetchmail when receive mail with headers like this. No mail will be received and fetchmail generates error messages terminated with signal 13. I suppose that the X-mailer is M$ Exchange. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks

Bengt,
I assume you are using multi-drop?  Have you tried specifying the sort header in the web-based manager section for general email settings?  It could be that fetchmail's standard sorting algorithm is confused by something in the headers...  Good luck!

Hi Kim!

I found the problem. It is a huge list of bugs between fetchmail 5.0 to 5.1 so i just download the sources and compile it. Fetchmail works now, but all mail with funny headers goes to postmaster.

Best regards,

Bengt

Interesting! Thanks for the info!!!

Ok, "Time Out" he called as he jumped in to the discussion
I have similar message and also sniped the following error via postmaster

   "See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html "

this is the giveaway, as it shows fetchmail "probably" needs a forceCR in the config

I have patched my copy and it has run ok for 3 days on 5 min download cycle

Stewart,

This is interesting.  Joe, my partner, has volunteered to contact you separately, get details, and we'll re-post on this topic after we've done some investigation.

Thanks so much for the lead.
