Title: fetchmail:-:7: parse error at protocol - I get this after up
Post by: Pistonpilot on October 31, 2003, 12:12:29 AM
I'm getting multiple cron messages to root saying:

fetchmail:-:7: parse error at protocol

This is now happening after I've updated my 6.03b to 6.0 non beta after applying the updates.  

What does it mean?

On closer examination, I looked at  /etc/startmail

It gives me the cron mail every 15 minutes - fetchmail file is at the end.
