Package: getmail4
Version:  4.8.4-1

Getmail4 is logging at verbosity level 1 (I think, maybe 2) instead of 0, 
which is what I have set in my configuration file. The log file looks like 
this:

2009-09-06 04:50:02 Initializing 
SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever:[email protected]:993:
2009-09-06 04:50:08 msg    1/4560 (9999 bytes) msgid 3/Inbox/1443 not 
retrieved (seen)

and repeats the last message for all 4560 emails in my inbox, a number which 
of course only grows with time. This occurs on every fetch, as far as I can 
tell. My configuration file has verbosity set to 0.  I have a log file from 
January that did not have this problem,  but the rest have been rotated out 
due to an extremely bloated size; so, I cannot determine exactly when this 
problem started occurring. At least a couple of weeks ago, as best as I can 
tell. No changes to my configuration were made in that time. The old log file 
would simply indicate that it was initializing the retriever, with the 
occasional error message when an error occurred.

Dependent software versions:
python 2.5.4-2
python-support 1.0.3

I am running Debian squeeze.

Command in cron to run the retrieval: 
getmail --rcfile /home/james/.getmail/getmailrc.gm

My configuration file:
[retriever]
type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
server = imap.gmail.com
username = sams.james
password = *********
mailboxes = ("Inbox",)

[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/bin/procmail

[options]
verbose = 0
read_all = false
message_log = /var/log/mail/sams.james.log

I believe that constitutes all the relevant information you need.
