The command issued was:-
# fetchmail -f /etc/system.fetchmailrc
# cat /etc/system.fetchmailrc
poll mailhost.brunel.ac.uk protocol pop3 username cspgccm password "secret"
The response I get is as follows:-
91 messages (90 seen) for cspgccm at mailhost.brunel.ac.uk (1119833 bytes).
skipping message 1 not flushed
skipping message 2 not flushed
...
skipping message 89 not flushed
skipping message 90 not flushed
reading message 91 of 91 (463 bytes) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mailhost.brunel.ac.uk
fetchmail: Query status=10
There was actually one new message in the mailbox (#91).
Would you be able to shed some light on what is happening, and how the
problem can be solved?
Many thanks,
Chitta
