I use fetchmail to get my email from yahoo & gmail et al. Lately I've been getting these two messages when fetchmail runs. What is postfix doing and what is it trying to tell me? Is this something I should fix on my end? Is postfix trying to resend some spam I received from yahoo? Or is it just having trouble delivering spam to my inbox?
