You should probably try to see what the exact message is. If Fetchmail is encountering an error, you may need to fix the error. For instance, my Postfix mail server is set to reject messages with invalid From headers and sometimes malformed spam is sent to my ISP mailbox with just such invalid headers. Since the ISP mail server is not as picky, Fetchmail tries to deliver to Postfix which rejects the message and then Fetchmail, doesn't delete the message because it did not recieve an ack from the mail server. It will try to do this repeatedly until the message is cleared. If you know what is causing the problem, you can instruct Fetchmail to regard the error code generated by Postfix as a bounce and then Fetchmail will discard the message. Your message may be something similar. Why not attach a copy so that we can see it? -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
