Ciao a tutti,
I was making some experiments with fetchmail + tor and I found a strange
behaviour: at the address
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/EMail
there is this example:
set no spambounce
set no bouncemail
poll provider
plugin "socat STDIO SOCKS4A:127.0.0.1:%h:%p,socksport=9050"
protocol imap
user user with password password, ssl
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d userlocal"
but sniffing the traffic I see a dns query for the address of provider
_at the beginning_ of session: looks like fetchmail doing these queries
at the beginning of the session without any help from socat and only
then it calls socat to download the messages, actually (?) late.
I think this behaviour must at least indicated in that page.

Ciao
