Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.18-2

/etc/fetchmailrc:

set daemon 30
set syslog
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set no softbounce

poll pop.myprovider.de proto pop3 user [email protected] pass
MYSECRETPASS smtphost mail.myinternaldomain.lan smtpname

END OF /etc/fetchmailrc

the poll line above is repeated another 13 times with different usernames.

ps axuw|grep fetchmail

/usr/bin/fetchmail --bad-header accept -f /etc/fetchmailrc --pidfile
/var/run/fetchmail/fetchmail.pid --syslog

as can be seen, fetchmail is running as daemon. It has been manually
started on September 13, because the old instance was killed because of
kernel OOM (out of memory) kill. see:

so I started a memory log:

2012-09-17 11,7% VIRT=63852 RES=60316 SHR=1888
2012-09-18 14,6% VIRT=84760 RES=74952 SHR=1884

so again it seems to run until oom death.

the machine is a virtual machine with 512MB ram + 1GB swap:

erik@mail:~$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        514728     503600      11128          0      81100     237232
-/+ buffers/cache:     185268     329460
Swap:      1048568       2080    1046488


how can I further supply information on this issue? It is a production
machine, but maybe I can somehow help find the cause of the issue
anyway? Or is that memory leakage a known issue?

Erik
