Hi,
I use fetchmail on a debian/etch and debian/lenny box to download my
domain at gandi. It has happened now for the third time, that there is a
mail in my inbox, that I can not download. They are all legitimate mails
from a mailing list (debian, r-project), they are not extraordinarily
big (20kb), but if I try to download them, fetchmail (etch and lenny
versions) fails with:
fetchmail: IMAP< * 1 FETCH (BODY[TEXT] {15566}
(15566 body
octets)************************.********************************************fetchmail:
socket error while fetching from mail@xxx.yyy
fetchmail: 6.3.6 querying imap.xxx.yyy (protocol IMAP) at Tue May 6
22:39:44 2008: poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: normal termination, status 2
Other mails download fine, however when this mail is still unread in the
queue, no mail is downloaded at all due to this error. If I do not read
this mail via the web interface, I can not download any further mail
with fetchmail. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Are the emails
in an "illegal" format, is there a bug in fetchmail, or is this a bug
with the gandi imap server?
