 Hi,
 
 This works however someone forgot to pull up  fetchmailconf from rev 
 6.3.14 to 6.3.17. Please do this  also cause it could cause some 
 problems in future releases.
 Actually on a side-note would it not be advantagous to make 
 fetchmailconf part of the fetchmail build again with the build options 
 that are in pkgsrc it seems to me
 that one could just define an option to build with fetchmailconf or 
 without it. and just have the build process handle the rest.
 
 Regards,
 Michael
