fetchmail taking long time to fetchmail...
Hi peeps,

We are having around 60 users.
The time set to retrieve the mail is 300 sec.
But it's taking around 1 hour to deliver mails.
I am using debian sarge 3.1.
any clues?
And how it will affect if I decrease the time?
My machine has got 1 p4 3.0 GHZ processor and 1 GB ram.
The home partion is almost full. Is this could be the reason?

Thanks in advance

Is this the maximum allowed time ?

thank you buddy
I meant to say that fetchmail is running in daemon mode and it polls every 300 sec or 5 minutes.
