Description Sloan Poe 2003-01-30 12:41:43 UTC
User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: 

Fetchmail worked until I upgraded this morning.  I should have been current up until 
that point, though I'm not sure as I've been without network access for over a week.   
 
The problem is fetchmail seems to hang downloading the first message from a POP3 or 
IMAP server.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.run fetchmail 
2. 
3. 
Actual Results:  
 Here is the output from fetchmail -N -v: 
 
fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.1 daemon 
fetchmail: 6.2.1 querying xxx (protocol POP3) at Thu Jan 30 12:39:15 2003: poll 
started 
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Hello there. 
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA 
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Here's what I can do: 
fetchmail: POP3< TOP 
fetchmail: POP3< USER 
fetchmail: POP3< LOGIN-DELAY 10 
fetchmail: POP3< PIPELINING 
fetchmail: POP3< UIDL 
fetchmail: POP3< IMPLEMENTATION Courier Mail Server 
fetchmail: POP3< . 
fetchmail: POP3> USER sloan

fetchmail: POP3> RETR 1 
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1988 octets follow. 
reading message sloan@xxx:1 of 1 (1988 octets) 
 
it will sit like that for a long time until i kill the process. 

Expected Results:  
Fetchmail should download my mail message

Ok, so the problem was not with fetchmail at all.  It turns out that I upgraded 
postfix this morning as well, and didn't notice the proxymap change...  It all works 
for me again.
