I realise this is really a fetchmail issue, but it arose straight after a distro upgrade, so I think the cause is a difference in versions somewhere.
Yesterday I upgraded to Suse 10.0 from 9.3. I use fetchmail to get mail from two different isps and several local users. since the upgrade to 10.0 it doesn't work.
the logfile gives me this:

This seems to be a fairly common problem from googling on the error, but the solutions don't appear to relate to my situation. Could changing versions of Fetchmail or Postfix cause this if the config files are unchanged?
this is the result of running fetchmail -V:
This is fetchmail release 6.2.5.2+POP2+IMAP-GSS+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+OPIE+SOCKS+NLS

Any ideas?
