[fetchmail]query state=2 (SOCKET)

[Roberto Meyer]

Hi, (I sent this message to fetchmail-users mailing list too :-)

I translated the error message in the subject of this mail from
spanish, I don't know if it shows exactly like this in other systems.

I'm running processes for each user from crontabs. I get error
messages, not always, not always from the same user's cron job. I'm
running Debian Sarge with fetchmail: 6.2.5.

I'm stuck. I've tried IMAP and POP3 and didn't find much difference.
Fetchmail is connecting to Courier-IMAP or/and Courier-POP.

Each user has a .fetchmailrc which looks like this:
poll mail.mydomain.com
        protocol POP3
        user "user@mydomain.com"
        pass "pass"
        smtpaddress "mydomain.com"

Each user's cron job (8 at this time) is set to:
*/5 * * * *     fetchmail -vvv 1>> fe.log 2>&1

where fe.log is a log file at user's home directory.

Here the error I found at many fe.log:

fetchmail: 6.2.5 interrogando a mail.mydomain.com (protocolo POP3) en lun 1=
1 s
 iniciada
fetchmail: error `socket' recibiendo de mail.mydomain.com
fetchmail: 6.2.5 interrogando mail.mydomain.com (protocolo POP3) en lun 11 =
sep
erminada
fetchmail: Estado de la consulta=3D2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: terminaci=F3n normal, estado 2


As a plus, people at this organization is downloading mail using
something calles "mail diamond" for Winbug without problem :-(

I'll appreciate any help. TIA,
