[Linux-disciples] Fetchmail weirdness

[Stephen R Laniel]

I've noticed something weird with fetchmail: it fairly
regularly stops downloading from one of my mail servers.
Here's my ~/.fetchmailrc:

	poll laniels.org with proto imap:
		plugin "ssh %h /usr/sbin/imapd" auth ssh fetchall
	
	poll [work Exchange server] with proto imap:
		auth password user slaniel password 'password' fetchall ssl
	
	set daemon 300

I'll sign in via Thunderbird or whatnot, and I'll see that
there are lots of messages waiting for me. So I go into
.fetchmailrc, comment out everything except for the work
Outlook account, and re-run fetchmail. Then it downloads the
messages fine. And for at least a short time thereafter,
even after I uncomment the other lines, it downloads
properly. But then eventually it stops fetching properly.

Has anyone seen similar behavior?
