When the traffic is stopped (daemon goes to sleep or all deliveries are done), make sure that fetchmail daemon is stopped (/usr/local/bin/fetchmail -q) or if it is run from cron, temporarily remove the entry. As a general rule of thumb, if a port download breaks at some point you should start over, but first you should clean up the mess. A "make distclean" and "make clean" inside the fetchmail port directory (/usr/ports/mail/fetchmail) will delete the half-downloaded file and clean up the work directory. The half-downloaded file is in /usr/ports/distfiles -- RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens _________________________________________ Thanos Rizoulis Electronic Computing Systems Engineer Larissa, Greece FreeBSD/PCBSD user
