Hello,
I am running fetchmail as a cron job every half hour. It worked fine until
a few days ago. Suddenly, I started to receive the following messages:
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /usr/bin/fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc
--syslog --invisible
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <MAILTO=frank>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 22:00:01 +0100
fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 853.
I have to kill fetchmail by hand to get fetchmail to receive messages again.
Fetchmail checks five mailboxes from three different isp's. I have checked
/var/log/syslog and I noticed that fetchmail stalls after checking the
first mailbox (or after starting to check the second one). There is no
error message in /var/log/syslog. There was no mail in the first mailbox
and there (probably) was no mail in the second mailbox as well.
What could be the problem here?
TIA,
Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven
