Topic: fetchmail failure

[Dan Elkins]

I am continually getting an error message set to me that says this:

fetchmail: nameserver failure while looking for ranman.huggle.com' during poll of mail.earthlink.net

What do I need to do.

can you ping both those names, ie are they correct

my isp changed from mail. to mail2.
i dropped the mail. and just had isp.net for my mail server and that fixed it

I'm still getting my mail but just that e-mail notification every time mail is checked (every 5 min.).  What could it be?
