Dear Maintainer,
i updated fetchmail yesterday from 6.4.39-1 to 6.6.3-2. I did not
restarted the whole system, i only started fetchmail with systemd systemctl.
fetchmail started, retrieved messages and then stopped without error
message. After some investigation i found this bug report
and i can confirm this bug. The systemd-script ignores the DAEMON_MODE
setting in /etc/detault/fetchmail
As a workaround i added the "-d 300" from the init script to the
fetchmail service file /usr/lib/systemd/system/fetchmail.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fetchmail --pidfile /run/fetchmail/fetchmailrc.pid -f
/etc/fetchmailrc -d 300
As it breaks a running configuration after upgrade i would suggest to
increase the severity of the bug.
If another solution already exists, this should be noted someewhere.
Thank you for your work!
Best regards
Michael
