I have been getting this error, and I'm not sure what it means or what is
wrong.
I have fetchmail setup to pull the email from my domain accounts to local
users. I set this up in a fetchmailrc file.
this morning I noticed there was no new email, but when I went to webmail (
squirrelmail) on my hosts servers, there was email . This is the error
message I am getting in /var/log/syslog:
Aug 10 16:31:47 paulandcilla fetchmail[16965]: timeout after 300 seconds
waiting to connect to server email_host.com.
Aug 10 16:31:47 paulandcilla fetchmail[16965]: socket error while fetching
from my_user_email+my_host....@email_host.com
Aug 10 16:31:47 paulandcilla fetchmail[16965]: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
mail.err has similar messages:
Aug 10 16:31:47 paulandcilla fetchmail[16965]: socket error while fetching
from my_user_email+my_host....@email_host.com
The same think occasionally happens to me. Sometimes the messages
eventually gets transferred, but sometimes I have to use this python
script to delete the offending message from the POP server.
