Fetchmail socket problem


Hi there :-)
Since yesterday I have a big problem with fetchmail/ssh :-(

This is in my ~/.fetchmailrc (hosts, username and password are removed ;-) )
Quote:
poll mailbox.irgendwo via localhost port 11110 protocol pop3 user <username> pass <passwort>
preconnect "ssh -f -n -L 11110:mailbox.irgendwo:110 mailbox.irgendwo 'touch pop.lock; while[-f pop.lock ] ; do sleep 5 ; done'"
postconnect "ssh mailbox.irgendwo'/bin/rm pop.lock'"
set daemon 300
set syslog
Since yesterday I have the problem, that when I try to bind a local port for fetchmail I can't fetch any mails anymore from the mailserver.

I get following error message in the /var/log/mail/errors
Quote:
Mar 30 00:42:13 <mein_hostname> fetchmail[23473]: socket error while fetching from mailbox.irgendwo
I have absolutely no idea anymore what could cause this problem as I can connect to the mailserver via ssh with an rsa key without any problem :-( There I can also view the mails with pine.

fetchmail-6.2.1-3mdk
