[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#327893: fetchmail: Fetchmail 6.2.5-12sarge1 hast broken APOP. Query status=4 (PROTOCOL)

[Claudio André Till Clemens]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-12sarge1
Severity: important


Hello,

I'm having now problems with the security version of fetchmail,
6.2.5-12sarge1. The previous version (6.2.5-12) was working perfectly.
The problem seems to come only with APOP as Protocol, and only if there
is more than one messages in the pool. When I change to POP3 it works
again, but that is not an option. fetchmail claims it is allways a
protocol error.

Here the output of fetchmail -vvvvv:

I'll try then the version for sid (6.3.5-18). Maybe there is no problem
with unstable :).
