Re: FETCH - Server Reports Error

2021-09-01 Thread Steven P Valliere

Sigh...

I guess no one has a clue what this could be.  This morning's
version of the bizarre was this message:

!9/1/2021, 07:20:17: FETCH - Server reports error. The response is: .com 
(Postfix) with ESMTPS id 7D39A17E02C9

FWIW, when the session works normally, the message that would
show in place of the gibberish above is something like this:

 9/1/2021, 07:25:17: FETCH - 11 messages in the mailbox, 11 new

As one may notice, that was the very next query to the server.
One difference between this and the previous message (aside
from the nonsense text part) is that I did NOT reboot the whole
computer. This time I had only started TheBat!

Regardless, it appears that the first check after TheBat! starts
always fails with a message like this, where the "server response"
is some nonsense that was never sent by the server.

Since it goes away on the second attempt to fetch mail, I suppose
that no one cares, but as a programmer myself, I'm always concerned
with what /ELSE/ may be affected by whatever is causing this issue.

Oh well, I reported it.  I've only been paying for all of the updates
for the past 20 years, so my reports are probably worthless.

Frustrated by silence,

SteveV

FETCH - Server Reports Error

2021-07-06 Thread Steven P Valliere

I am very curious about this message from TheBat!'s log:

!7/6/2021, 07:36:26: FETCH - Server reports error. The response is: e 
(web3.networkexchange.de [82.165.112.102])

It appeared when TheBat! was first started after powering
on my computer this morning.  That is *NOT* my mail server
and the 'e' is quite confusing.

I'm guessing that this may be part of some sort of check
for a product update that TheBat! does at startup, but if
so, a more meaningful message would be GREATLY appreciated.

If not, can anyone explain what is going on?

Oh, right after I copied the message from the log, I clicked
the 'Receive new mail' button and TheBat! downloaded all of
the past weekend's mail just fine.  So what's with the strange
error on what I would expect to be the initial check for new
mail?

Hand in a wish, and I'll second it.

[St's TB Annoyances] "FETCH - Server reports error"

2004-07-27 Thread St - Musaic.Net

  Scenario: I use TB to download mail 24 hours a day – mostly
  unattended downloading and processing mail. I have TB redirect
  mail to some friends (my system checks for spam and/or virus
  and redirects a message if none is present). Every now and then
  I reboot the PC (remotely). From time to time the downloading
  of mail halts or the reboot cannot be executed safely – and
  these are the main reasons...
