fetchmail

[Subba Rao]

Hi,

I am trying to download email from my ISP.  When I telnet to my pop server the
mail is there.  When I try to download it I get SOCKET=2 error.  These files
are not too big either.

mfever@myhost:~$ fetchmail
............................................................................

Jun  6 16:42:05 myhost fetchmail[22619]: Query status=2 (SOCKET)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My .fetchmailrc looks like this:

set syslog
poll mail.ISP.mail.com protocol pop3 username mfever password 11111111
mda /usr/bin/procmail
fetchlimit 100


I get the above error even for email of size 100K.  How do I fix this error?

Thank you in advance for any help.
