X-BeenThere: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Documentation project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 08:13:39 -0000 Greetings, the fetchmail handbook chapter (mail-fetchmail.html in the HTML online version) gives "% fetchmail -d 60" as example for how to run fetchmail as service/daemon. This is considered an abusive low value by many upstream sites, and some actually enforce that mail isn't polled more often than, say, once every five minutes. Please consider changing this value to 600. Thank you. -- Matthias Andree
