I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.1R from the CDROM. Although fetchmail seems to
connect to the mail server okay, it fails to connect and aborts with
exit code 9 when trying to retrieve the first message. Any help would be
appreciated.
Here is my .fetchmailrc (with passwords altered):
poll postoffice.ptd.net protocol POP3 timeout 600
user tms2 pass ******** is tms
user ccei pass ******** is tms
And here is the output from fetchmail:
