Sunil Shetye & Matthias Andree +Amendment, 2006-01-04: +* fetchmail's idfile (.fetchids) is no longer written directly, but the ids are + written to a temporary file which is renamed into place after being written + completely. This is to avoid writing incomplete idfiles when running out of + space, which would cause excessive duplicate refetches of messages, this might + make matters even worse. This means that fetchmail requires write permission + on the directory holding the idfile. This will usually affect system-global + daemons only, for instance, Debian. Found by Dan Jacobson.
