Re: fetchmail error message
check your ulimits (ulimit -a) i get that error because my ulimits are
quite strict and when i exceed the limits it prevents me from doing so and
pukes with that error. currently i have ulimit's for memory set at
24,000kB for virtual memory and 12,000kB for memory.
you also could be out of memory(doubtful depending on how much swap u
got) fetchmail is a really small program :)
