Hello, After removing my numerically-named accounts, I began to re-encounter the strange hanging effect I mentioned on an email account with a "regular" (I.E., starting with an alpha-character account.) Thinking my suspicion on the cause of the problem was wrong, I used the alternate format of "such-and-such+privatedomain....@privatedomain.com" in my retchmail.conf file, and the problem went away.
In the world of budget shared web-hosting, the "+" symbol is available for when an "at" sign in an account name might confuse the software. I now believe this to be the case with retchmail. [As an aside, this is just the reason I use one ftp client over another, some can't handle an account name with an "at" sigh in it.] At any rate, please therefore edit this bug report to be a wishlist item against retchmail's documentation, that the man page on retchmail.conf should indicate that users with account names on pop servers with an "at" sign should use the "plus" sign instead. Lastly, the reason I did not think this was the problem initially was that I used retchmail under Etch for several years without this problem. I don't know what, in the changeover from Etch to Lenny could cause this to change, but that is apparently what happened. cheers, --- Scotty Fitzgerald -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
