Anoying Fetchmail Behavior

Tags:

Hi Folks, I have a serious problem with fetchmail, I get every day
this message

fetchmail: skipping message :1 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message :2 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message :3 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message :4 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message :5 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message :6 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message :7 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message :8 not flushed

And in this case the fetchmail daemon doesn't download
this mails but others, for one of my users, and sometimes fetchmail gets
stuck without explanation, my .fetchmailrc it's the following,

====================================================================

set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
set no bouncemail
set postmaster root

set daemon 10

poll 192.168.54.3 proto pop3 port 110
user "adrian13024" with pass "xxxx" is "adrian13024" here
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T";

poll 192.168.54.3 proto pop3 port 110
user "jldiazvichot13021" with pass "xxxxxx" is "jldiazvichot13021" here
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T";

poll 192.168.54.3 proto pop3 port 110
user "richardlrp13023" with pass "xxxxx" is "richardlrp13023" here
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T";

poll 192.168.54.3 proto pop3 port 110
user "david13027" with pass "xxxxx" is "david13027" here
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T";

poll 192.168.54.3 proto pop3 port 110
user "yutmely13026" with pass "xxxxxx" is "yutmely13026" here
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T";

==================================================================

One detail it's that I run fetchmail every 10 seconds, it's this bad?
sometimes when the problem occurs I must kill fetchmail and start this
again to make it work, well folks, Thanks you for your time and I hope get
some help.

olr.

probably. I don't know what it does when it tries to download mails
that another fetchmail is trying to download. But then, I don't know
if it forks another process or not. But a good place to start would be
to slow that down. Once a minute is surely adequate. Or are your users
that desperate for mail? ;)

Well, no so desperated but when they see that they don't have email
on their outlook express then they check the webmail at my isp
and see the emails there, but this is not a problem, I will changed
to 1 minute, thanks for the tip.

I have seen this on the occassion that I accessed my mail from a webmail
account and then tried to use fetchmail. The 'status' of the mail was
altered when I used the webmail and this caused fetchmail to skip those
mails. I'd less the frequency of you email fetch. The solution for me
was to call 'fetchmail -a', and that fixed it for the moment until I
used the webmail before fetchmail.
