I've seen weird things like this when the server can't get a good reverse DNS lookup (or sometimes a good forward lookup). Try adding an entry for your client into your server's /etc/hosts file ... It's fixed similar things for me. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Bill Mills-Curran Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 11:26 AM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] fetchmail/sendmail problem...

I REALLY need some help. I've included a lot of diagnostic stuff in this email to help the troubleshooting process. Please help. <snip>
Ok, I got it to work, but only by extending the timeout parameter in my .fetchmailrc file from 30 seconds to 120 seconds. This brings up an intermittent problem I have with slow responses to connections. Some connections are slow, exceeding the timeout of 30 seconds. So, I would guess that this is the root cause. Slow response to this: ssh localhost Good response to this: ssh 192.168.1.12 TIA, Bill _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
