Make world will complete, without any error messages and I recompiled my kernel after the last successful make world. I have been using fetchmail for quite some time with the same version of FBSD. Recently I shut down my system for about 2 1/2 days (because it's a home system and I was gone). When I fired the machine up again fetchmail would 'run' but could nolonger D/L my mail. This machine had been off and on for most of it's life. It's not a server, so I have no reason to keep the machine up 24/7 (unless I want to help keep PG&E in business). The error message I get when I run fetchmail -av is SMTP connection failed. I have two email accounts (on different servers), so I have a .fetchmailrc file which has never been modified. Any ideas?
