Hi,
I get a
fetchmail: 5.9.11 querying pop.mail.yahoo.com (protocol POP3) at Wed Apr
17 13:21:59 2002: poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL)
fetchmail: SMTP> QUIT
from fetchmail. I'm certain I have the correct username and password.
I moved the mailserver from one box to another. I diffed the two
fetchmailrc's and there was no difference, only the host name talking to
mail.yahoo.com.
the line is
poll pop.mail.yahoo.com proto pop3 user deepbsd password ******** is dsj
here
(substitute ******* with my passwd, of course.)
Any ideas what the problem would be?
TIA

I have a map of the United States. It's actual size.
I spent last summer folding it. People ask me where
I live, and I say, "E6".
