See this e-mail msg to ESR. ( From the file "ip-up" in the contrib
directory of fetchmail source distribution )

Subject: A Little Tip...
Seeing Eric tip us that we could run a "fetchmail -quit" in the
"ip-down" script, I thougt it would be neat to run a fetchmail
collection in the "ip-up" script. That way mail is collected
automatically every time I am connecting to Internet for whatever
reason
(I use "diald" to automatically manage my connection).
However, it did not work. It hung right after the POP3 login. I tracked
this down to the fact that the "pppd" masks a wide range of signals and
this means a time-out does not kick in. As I run the "ip-up" script in
"bash" this masking is inheritied by "fetchmail".
