Package: fetchmail Version: 6.2.5-12 Severity: important
I'm running fetchmail in daemon mode, from a DSL connexion. It connects to various (5) mail servers, in IMAP and POP modes. After a while, fetchmail fails to connect everytime to every server. I have to restart it: /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart and then it works instantly (so it rules out a simultaneous failure of all mail servers, as well as a DSL failure). It happens rougly once per week.
