Hi,
Over the weekend i set up a name server and dns on my fedora box,
everything works appart from fetchmail. I can nslookup my external mail
server, all the PC's on the network work correctly for the internet and
dovecot can send e-mail.

However fetchmail gives me the following error

fetchmail: POP3 connection to pop.1and1.co.uk failed: temporary name server
error.

however doing a nslookup from a shell window returns the correct ip address

Any one got any ideas? Thought it might be the resolve.conf but then i would
have expected dovecot not to work correctly.

Cheers

Mike

Just in case anyone else has the same problem, it seams that fetchmail run
in demon mode caches which nameserver it should use and until it was killed
and restarted it does read from the new nameserver
