fetchmail



    So this is interesting. I've had fetchmail running as a daemon for about 2
weeks, and I wake up this morning and find that I have zero email waiting. I
check the log, and I see entries like this:

fetchmail: 5.3.3 querying mail.storm.ca (protocol POP3) at Wed, 18 Oct 2000
07:20:01 -0400 (EDT)
fetchmail: fetchmail: POP3 connection to mail.storm.ca failed: temporary name
server error.

    So I do an nslookup on storm's mail server, and it's there. So, I kill
fetchmail and restart it, and find 400+ messages waiting. 

    Anyone know what would cause this "temporary name server error?"

    Mike
