After hibernating my notebook with software suspend v2 to disk for a while (say 10 hours), fetchmail can'T resolve servers' hostnames and comlains about temporarily DNS errors. A restart of the fetchmail daemon fixes this behaviour. [...] All the other programs are able to do this? Regards Nico Hmm, I think I should give more background info: I use a patched 2.6 kernel with software suspend to disk. The suspend script shuts down my ehternet device before stopping all processes and then goes into suspend state. After resuming and continuing the processes (there is a SIGCONT signal I think) the suspend script itself resumes and brings up the ethernet device again. Since I use dhcp for my eth0, the network environment changes sometimes, i.e. different address, different default gateway, different nameserver entry in resolv.conf and so on. So IMHO there are three possible pitfalls: The long suspend time which creates a huge jump into the future from fetchmails point of view and maybe something like a timer get confused. The "sudden" change of network. The time between SIGCONT and net reestablishment. Just my two, no, three cents. :-) Hope it helps reproducing or understanding the problem. Greets, Wollie
