Hello all,

I'm attempting to resolve a fetch prob (someone else's box).

It appears the config files are OK. Manual polls work
fine... Mail lands in the correct boxes. However, automatic
polling doesn't seem to be working. The thing is running
in daemon mode as below.

root 14355 1  0 14:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 60 -a -f /
etc/fetchmailrc -L /var/log/fetchmail

The logfile confirms the 60 second poll and is error free.

and on and on, but no exchange... of course there is mail
waiting :-)

What am I not seeing?
