The error I get is: $ fetchmail fetchmail: client/server protocol error while fetching from 140.126.111.5 fetchmail: Query status=4 (PROTOCOL) When I comment out the # auth ssh section in my fetchmailrc, it starts working again. But the --auth ssh option on the command line fails with the following: fetchmail: mailbox selection failed fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from mail.chinmin.edu.tw fetchmail: client/server protocol error while fetching from mail.chinmin.edu.tw fetchmail: Query status=4 (PROTOCOL) I can ssh into the shell account on the server. -- Greg Matheson Teaching: leaving Dr Bean's Penpal Pool fingerprints over the tabula rasa.
