[fetchmail]Re: timeouts and stuff

[F. Heitkamp]

I hate replying to my own messages, but that's the way it goes sometimes. 
:)

I googled around some more after posting, and saw a message from a person 
who was having a similar problem. This person carefully checked his 
sendmail configuration and permissions and had success.  I checked mine.

It seems I did have one or two seemingly minor problems with permissions 
in my /var/spool/mail directory. In addition, I had an aggressive debug 
flag in the sendmail arguments in /etc/init.d/sendmail.  (I found this 
page to be helpful: http://www.sendmail.org/secure-install.html.) I fixed 
the permissions and set the debug flag to a less aggressive value, and I 
haven't had any "not flushed" messages from fetchmail.  One other possibly 
confounding issue to consider was I also upgraded to the latest 
spamassassin (3.0) from the last stable release (2.64?).

I did not discovered the actual problem, but the "fix" seems to be 
working.  I guess that's all I can ask.

Thanks for listening.
