As Matthias correctly noted, you have provided zero output/logs/information to actually show the problem, so there's no way anyone here can give you the correct answer.

I can't see no log or error I have never seen getmail "hang" on processing a message. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that it's actually one of two things: 1) The POP or IMAP server is hanging/failing to return the correct response to getmail's retrieval command. 2) Your external MDA is actually hanging/blocking while getmail is trying to deliver to it. > This my configuration: > > [destination] > type = MDA_external > path = /usr/sbin/sendmail > arguments = ("-i", "-bm", [email protected]) That's not actually valid getmailrc syntax. Assuming you fix that, this is a *really bad idea*. Configure getmail to use an MDA like maildrop, or to deliver directly to the mailbox for [email protected] -- do not pipe retrieved messages back into an MTA.
