Hi,

Sorry for the delay.
With the original /etc/init.d/fetchmail, we have :
Should-Start:      $mail-transport-agent
It means that fetchmail start if the mail-transport-agent (postfix for
me) is not started. I experimented loss of mails in this case.
So I think that fetchmail **must** not start if the
mail-transport-agent does not work.

I suggest that the condition :
Required-Start: $mail-transport-agent
is notified in the /etc/init.d/fetchmail file.

Same kind of problem in /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/fetchmail.
Fetchmail is awaken too early when the network is not ready(localhost
setting is ready ?). It is the init logs in stdout that says that.

Regards
