I have noticed that commands run via cron and execute via /bin/sh, so I tried to run the fetchmail command manually. This is what I get:

[root@scalix ~]# /bin/sh /usr/bin/fetchmail /usr/bin/fetchmail: /usr/bin/fetchmail: cannot execute binary file

What could be the problem here? Anyone else having problems with fetchmail?

Cron doesn't run like that. Cron runs "sh -c" eg /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/fetchmail and that works just fine.

$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.4 (Final) $ uname -sr Linux 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL $ /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/fetchmail fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified.
