Fetchmail

[Russell Cook]

Hi folks 
I've got a problem with fetchmail, seeming to take forever to pop my
mail.  I do have keep messages on server, but when I popped direct to
evolution I never had this problem. Here's the source of one message
showing how long it took fetchmail to get it.

Received: from pop.plus.mail.yahoo4.akadns.net by localhost with POP3
        (fetchmail-6.2.5) for ruscook at dalek.sydwest (single-drop); Sat,
08 Oct 2005
        02:50:56 +1000 (EST)
Received: from 203.55.209.65  (EHLO ns10142.housing.nsw.gov.au)
        (203.55.209.65) by mta227.mail.mud.yahoo.com with SMTP; Thu, 06
Oct 2005
        18:34:22 -0700
Received: from ns10142.housing.nsw.gov.au ([127.0.0.1]) by
        ns10142.housing.nsw.gov.au with InterScan Messaging Security
Suite; Fri, 07
        Oct 2005 11:34:18 +1000


I've also included my fetchmail command (cron job)
    fetchmail -s -U

I was also getting the following errors during the day yesterday 
    fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds waiting for server
pop.mail.yahoo.com.au.
    fetchmail: socket error while fetching from pop.mail.yahoo.com.au
    fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)

So, I know it is sometimes failing, but that can't be the whole problem
as I'm running fetchmail every 12 mins.

HEre's my fetchmail.rc file (passwords blanked of course)
poll pop.mail.yahoo.com.au

	proto pop3
	auth password

	user "windsorcycles"
	pass "xxxx"
	is ruscook at dalek.sydwest here
	fastuidl 1
	keep 
	no fetchall
	no ssl

	user "bike_oz"
	pass "xxxx"
	is ruscook at dalek.sydwest here
	fastuidl 1
	keep 
	no fetchall
	no ssl

	user "ruscook_oz"
	pass "xxxx"
	is ruscook at dalek.sydwest here
	fastuidl 1
	keep 
	no fetchall
	no ssl


poll pop.netspace.net.au
	proto pop3
	auth password
	user "ruscook"
	pass "xxxx"
	is ruscook at dalek.sydwest here
	fastuidl 1
	keep 
	no fetchall
	no ssl

Any advice as to what I can do to improve fetchmails' reliability and performance?

Thanks, 


Kind Regards Russell
