Hello List, I have started getting the following error in the fetchmail log:
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) The consequence is that mail is not retrieved for my home network. My modem is configured to demand dial (via wvdial) and I usually start fetchmail with fetchmail -d 7200. I have read the man pages and it appears that fetchmail "times out" while waiting for my ISP to be connected and the DNS resolved. It assumes that the POP server does not exist. If the connection is already up, then fetchmail works as intended. My suspicion is that resolving my ISP's DNS is taking a little longer due to my primary DNS pointing to my DNS cache and my secondary DNS pointing to my ISP. This slight delay appears to hang fetchmail. I have had fetchmail working perfectly and the implementation of DNS cache is the only thing I can think of that I have configured recently that may cause a problem. As a new user I would appreciate any ideas on how I could solve this problem. Can fetchmail be "told" to wait longer before hanging?
