Details
An updated fetchmail package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended for use
over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections.
This updated package fixes the following bug:
* Previously, fetchmail would fail with a socket error when attempting to write
to a BSMTP (Batch Simple Mail Transport Protocol) batch file when downloading
mail. It failed with a socket error after writing the first header to the BSMTP
batch file and displayed, "socket error while fetching from". As a result,
fetchmail could not download mail using BSMTP. With this update to fetchmail,
the fetchmail package will now correctly write to the BSMTP batch file.
(BZ#620640)
All users of fetchmail are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
