I’m getting this in my logs sometimes.. and since POP email is working, I can’t guess what’s up. > Job exception: getaddrinfo: No address associated with hostname If we could get more details logged.. what server was being looked up, maybe which dns was consulted, and if all 5 errors happened at 1:50pm (see attached), it could make troubleshooting easier. TIA ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/5/5507861bfb618cab535132ab792e07fff7c7936e.png) ---

This is a DNS lookup / resolution error. This is probably just a transient error (i.e. it will go away on it’s own). To check you can resolve (`nslookup`) the mail directly at the command line for each of your DNS servers. Another possible causes are: - connection / availability of your DNS server at the time. - DNS configuration issues with your POP3 provider. The only real chance of a bug is if the wrong POP3 server name / address gets down to this level in the code - which seems unlikely if it’s working at other times. It might be good to know what hostname it’s looking up, but unlikely to help.
