Title: fetchmail failure
Post by: Dan Elkins on September 10, 2000, 11:07:18 PM

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.

my isp changed from mail. to mail2.

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