I'm using Fetcher and monit on a rails app (thanks MMS2R). Monit keeps the process up for days, and Fetcher always grabs emails from the inbox i point it at. However after an unspecified period of time (roughly 6+ hours) after restarting the process, it fails to deliver the mail to my receive method. It still pulls them off the postfix server (verified through email log) but when i check my production database, there are no new entries.

For the first 6-ish hours i do see entries in my production DB, and at any time I can manually go into RAILS_ENV=production script/console and successfully test the receive method and verify entries in my production DB. Has anyone run into something similar?

If this isn't the proper place to address this issue please point me in the right direction. rails 2.2.2, ubuntu hardy, passenger, and ruby 1.8.6 .
