Any idea what Adrian is doing wrong?
Of course, if forwarding to port 25 works, it's what he should be doing
(certainly it's what the author of fetchmail recommends). But I'm curious
why the way he's doing it sometimes fails.

Subject: Bug#15696: Yeah - got one
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 1998 01:12:43 +0100
From: Adrian Bridgett <adrian.bridgett@???>
To: 15696@???
Same as last time, this .fetchmail fell over with sig 13 (SIGPIPE) three
times on message 46:
poll mail.zetnet.co.uk
proto pop3
user adrian.bridgett is bridgett here
password XXXXXXX
fetchall
smtphost wyvern
mda "exim -oem -bm %s "
batchlimit 50
On removing the mda line (so that it is forwarded to port 25), everything
works fine:

Two important things missing are:
a) the failed fetchmail logs - Duh!
b) the message - I was looking for one about 11k but there wasn't one.
The message from Manoj Srivastava's about bug 20005.
Thanks and *many* apologies for being too asleep to run fetchmail verbosely
when it failed. That will teach me to watch tele and then play games and
then read my mail! Hopefully the email in question will reveal some bug.
