I check the premessions on the file:
ll /usr/local/bin/getmail
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 328 Jun 27 09:25 /usr/local/bin/getmail*
I used portsdb -uU; portupgrade -Rr getmail to update the port/package.
>How-To-Repeat:
- update the getmail source to 26 a 27 jun and update.
- Run getmail from the cron
>Fix:
Workaround: don't run getmail from the cron i.e. do it by hand.
