No idea where it finally arrives, probably on /dev/null.
I do not know which patch I have installed on last Thursday, but I'm convinces it is a patch, because I observe the error on all three of my computers, which I updated all at the same time, unfortunately.
For getting mail again, I do no rely on the fetchmail daemon any more, which has become a trap, but I use the direct POP3 mail server access of Firefox. It's a pity.
fwiw: I constantly monitor fetchmail logs
head ~/.fetchmailrc
# Configuration created Sun Dec 28 14:56:16 2003 by fetchmailconf set logfile "fetchmail.log" #set syslog set postmaster "XxXx" set no bouncemail set no spambounce # set properties "v" set daemon 300 set properties "silent"
I tried that, but the logfile remains empty, of course.
then you somehow have failed to properly set it or cannot find the log file. Mine is filled with: Tue Dec 17 20:49:36 EST 2019 fetchmail: 1 message for xxxxx@xxx.net at imap.mail.yahoo.com (folder Inbox). fetchmail: reading message xxxx@sxxx.xxx@internal.imap.mail.g03.yahoodns.net:1 of 1 (9124 header octets) (4395 body octets) flushed Tue Dec 17 20:57:27 EST 2019 Tue Dec 17 21:02:45 EST 2019 ... I have fetchmail hand off to procmail and keep logs of it also. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
