It works great, but every once in a while I get a SocketError and it dies with the error output: ./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/fetcher/lib/fetcher/../vendor/secure_pop.rb :98:in `initialize': getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError) from ./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/fetcher/lib/fetcher/../vendor/ secure_pop.rb:98:in `do_start' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:in `timeout' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout' from ./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/fetcher/lib/fetcher/../vendor/ secure_pop.rb:98:in `do_start' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:432:in `start' from ./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/fetcher/lib/fetcher/pop.rb:21: in `establish_connection' from ./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/fetcher/lib/fetcher/base.rb:31 :in `fetch' from script/mail_fetcher:16:in `start' from script/mail_fetcher:15:in `start' from ./script/../config/../lib/daemon.rb:55:in `start' from ./script/../config/../lib/daemon.rb:45:in `start' from ./script/../config/../lib/daemon.rb:32:in `daemonize' from ./script/../config/../lib/daemon.rb:14:in `daemonize' from script/mail_fetcher:27 Does anyone know what causes this error?
