I don't see any evidence here that shows it's Postfix that borkes.
Well... fetchmail complains of no connection, and Pine as well, if I happen to try to send in that precise minute. I would say that Postfix is involved, but of course, it could be amavis, or even the network stack or firewall.
See if you can make Postfix show more debug info
main.cf debug_peer_list = 127.0.0.1
Yes, I thought of that. But that would throw tons of debug info: it doesn't happen every day, and only on the first email from that provider, an on the first run. That is, once a day at most. I'd have to be ready to change it back fast. I'll think it over... might be worth trying, for knowledge sake.
Only a good look in your logs with debug level up a few steps would show why Postfix and Fetchmail can't get along. Also; are mails stuck in any queue during this time-out? 'mailq'
I'm not sure, but I think not. I'll have to wait till the next time it happens.

So... yes, postfix sometimes does stall for some non obvious reasons. The configuration was the same I had in suse 8.2, I think (I upgraded, not reinstalled).
I worked with SuSE 9.1 standard Postfix for quite some time without a problem, but I don't use POP or IMAP, only SMTP. You could try the Postfix rpm from Guillermo to see if it is the SuSE build or not. ftp://ftp.oxixares.com/pub/rpms/SuSE_9.1/
Yes; but I prefer to wait for SuSE 9.2, which I will install before the month ends, I hope. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
