I am not starting fetchmail anywhere in daemon mode. However the above stuff comes only after remote users connects through dial-up to this server. From where this fetchmail is started is puzzle. In fact when remote user is checking his mail, fetchmail does not come into picture at all. Since fetchmail is somehow started when remove user connects, I get the following errors in fetchmail log file : <snip> fetchmail: 5.7.4 querying www.dempos.com (protocol POP3) at Wed May 29 16:26:47 2002 fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: 5.7.4 querying www.dempos.com (protocol POP3) at Wed May 29 16:29:56 2002 fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) <snip> This is because during that time I am not connected to the net. The thing I don't understand is why fetchmail is started and from where when remote users connect.
