I often, but not always, get a FETCH error when TheBat! performs its first check for new mail when I start it up in the morning. It is configured to check automatically, so I just hear the sound that indicates an error and I find something like this in my log:
11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - receiving mail messages 11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - Connecting to POP3 server mail.$$$$$$$$$.com on port 995 11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - Initiating TLS handshake >11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - Certificate S/N: FFFFFFFF, algorithm: RSA (512 >bits), issued from 11/7/2014 1:41:42 PM to 11/2/2034 1:41:42 PM, for 1 >host(s): mail.$$$$$$$$$.com. >11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - Owner: "US", "State", "City", "Company Name, >Inc.", "email service", "mail.$$$$$$$$$.com", "postmaster@$$$$$$$$$.com". >11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - This certificate is self-issued. 11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - TLS handshake complete 11/18/2021, 06:56:53: FETCH - connected to POP3 server 11/18/2021, 06:56:54: FETCH - authenticated (plain) !11/18/2021, 06:56:55: FETCH - Server reports error. The response is: rack.us; receiver=<UNKNOWN> The "rack.us" part of the example changes almost every time the error occurs. Can anyone help me to understand what is happening? I had originally suspected some sort of infection on my desktop or maybe even our mail server, but I've used several different bootable (from optical disk) scanning tools and all report both systems to be clean. Any ideas? Oh, I should mention that when I'm paying attention (like this morning when I captured this example) I click TB!'s "Receive New Mail" button on the toolbar immediately after the FETCH error is reported and TB! calmly connects to my mail server and downloads last night's mail with no issues. This error seems to happen only ONCE per run, and only on the very FIRST (automatic) attempt to "Receive New Mail" -- Steven Valliere | tb 9.4.4 | mailto:the...@e-visions.com -- "If you didn't write it down, then it didn't happen." -Larry Zana ________________________________________________ Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
