Fetchmail Problems with Retrieving Mail



Hi all-

Well fetchmail seems to be acting up on me here. I'm running 5.9.6-2,
and haven't figured out how to run it as a system wide daemon yet, so
I'm still doing the fetchmail -d 300 when I log in. Anyway, for some
reason it stopped retrieving mail. I killed the process and tried
running it with the -vvv options to see what I could see. Well, it
would see a bunch of messages (around 220) and crap out when it
started to retrieve them. I wish I had saved the output, but I didn't
(sorry). I did a little looking around in the archives and found a
reference to an issue with it when retrieving a lot of messages. I use
my Yahoo mail account for the list so I just logged in via http and
deleted a bunch of the list messages. I then tried running fetchmail
again, and it worked like a champ, grabbing the 5 messages with ease.

My question is...anyone else experiencing this and know how to address
it?

TIA!
