From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)

Description of problem:
Not possible to get mail from some servers with fetchmail.

config file .fetchmailrc:
# vodafone
poll pop3.vodafone.es
protocol pop3
user myusername
pass mypassword
no mimedecode
fetchall
keep
mda             "/usr/bin/procmail -f-"

(username is the same in local Fedora system and in remote pop3 server)

log of fetchmail session:

fetchmail: 6.2.5 interrogando a pop3.vodafone.es (protocolo POP3) en
mi� 05 may

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fetchmail-6.2.5-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use provided config file or similar to get mail from pop3 account
2. The fact of having the same username in remote and local is
probably important.
3. run 'fetchmail -v -v'

    

Actual Results:  infinite loop, fetchmail doesn't fetch any mail.

Expected Results:  Not sure, probably fall to plain password
authentification.

Additional info:

Same problem happens when trying to spam-filter with popfile as local
pop3 proxy.
