I get quite an annoying failure with fetchmail and irssi (possibly other networking apps but these two are the ones where it is the most obvious).
When I call fetchmail, I get the following error:
Code:
$ fetchmail -v

fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name of pop.mail.ya
in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/script I have the following that runs fetchmail when the ppp0 interface is up (connected) and when it finish the modem ends internet conection automatically.

I checked the manual of fetchmail, all it mentioned was SOCKS_CONF, but what is the format of that config file?
