Well, there's not much we can do without the fetchmail config, but
gmail-pop.l.google.com is just normal gmail - so assuming you really _do_
have fetchmail set to connect to gmail, you have an authentication problem
there anyway.

Then the pop.secureserver.net could be any server whose mx points to
secureserver. So its probably whatever you tried to access before gmail.

Last night I restarted fetchmail and its working again. I hate those
type of problems.

But this is my rc file:
# Configuration created Tue Oct 24 12:53:28 2006 by fetchmailconf 1.52
$Revision: 4636 $
set syslog
set postmaster "wadesmart"
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 150

# setup first email service provider -> WadeSmart
poll mail.wadesmart.com
uidl
proto pop3
auth password
user "username" there with password "password"
nokeep
no fetchall


# setup second email service provider -> Gmail
poll pop.gmail.com
uidl
proto pop3
port 995
auth password
user "wadesmart@gmail.com" there with password "password"
nokeep
no fetchall
ssl sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs


The gmail-pop-l-google.com only shows up when there is a problem,
otherwise its pop.gmail.com.

Ahem:
derek@bella:~$ nslookup mail.wadesmart.com
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mail.wadesmart.com
Address: 72.167.82.11

derek@bella:~$ nslookup 72.167.82.11
Server: 192.168.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
11.82.167.72.in-addr.arpa name =
p3pop01-v01.prod.phx3.secureserver.net.

So your mail provider _is_ secureserver.net. And the only thing that was
wrong was that both fetches were failing to authenticate. I can't help
with that.

That's normal. You _ask_ for pop.gmail.com (just as you ask for
mail.wadesmart.com), but the big providers will use various load-sharing
schemes to route you to different hosts, so if you see messages back from
them (and you usually only see errors) they'll have the address of the
physical machine.

I know secureserver is my host - but the it@pop.where.secureserver.net
is or was the problem.

Whatever it was, I turned on fetchmail later that night and after 12
hours it started working so Im going to assume it was outside of my
environment.

Wade, you must host your email on Godaddy. make sure you don't have
your email set up to forward to 'it' or to catch-all on the godaddy
site.

No forwarding to any address.

Apparently Im not the only one who has this trouble. I did a search
yesterday morning for it@pop.where..... and I found many errors from
different versions of linux using fetchmail who have had the same
problem. Most with different hosts but some with gmail.
