I'm currently using fetchmail to download mail from a POP server. However, I notice that it's been acting up once in a while... sometimes there will be a message addressed to myself with a malformed From: field which is a mix of my local login name (which is different from my username on the POP server) with the POP server's domain, with garbage in the message body. Sometimes there will be a totally garbled message with no legible content. Worse yet, (and it happened today with an important message) some messages would get truncated halfway through and get padded with nulls (shows up as reams of [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Is this a configuration problem? I was explicitly using POP3 as the protocol in my fetchmailrc (since that's the protocol POP server claims to be using), and I've just switched to AUTO but I'm not sure if this is the problem. Or could it be the POP server that is acting up? Or is this a bug in fetchmail??? (though I don't think this is the case as the problem shows up noticeably often and somebody else would have reported the bug before, assuming that fetchmail with POP3 is a pretty common configuration). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! U ===== ()() "Don't modify spaghetti code unless you can eat the consequences." `--' __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
