I was referring to the implementation in libesmtp/getaddrinfo.c, which is used if the system does not provide a getaddrinfo function. That seemed to be the only explanation why my change worked. I see now that I was wrong. Anyways, the real problem seems to be the same as in bug #391698 [1]. The nameserver configuration (/etc/resolv.conf) is only read during the first call to getaddrinfo. For illustration, I have appended a patch which fixes the problem, even if fetchmail is not restarted in /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/fetchmail. I suppose the current solution is preferable, however.
