Re: fetchmail doesn't work after upgrade to 3.2

["J. Scott Edwards" <sedwards@xmission.com>]

This is one of those times I *REALLY* wish e-mail had an undo! ;)

I called xmission and they said that when I got the fakepop permision
denied error that usually meant that I wasn't accessing the mail server
(mail.xmission.com).  DOH!

So now that I'm accessing the right machine it's working better, although,
halfway through the download it got the unable to open SOCKET error again.

So the socket thing may still be a problem?

Thanks
