If you send a message with no recipients to qmail-queue you get this

The log shows new/info/end entries, but no "delivery" entries, and
the messages aren't sitting in the queue.

NOPE
just those three lines, on every attempt
qmail-qstat and qmail-qread only report a few 17 Apr mails, stuck there
from trials during setup. I append the messages at the end. Looks like my
mails did not make it to the queue.
I have ls-checked the whole queue directory, only those old messages.
I've done the same thing over again. fetchmail gets the mails, but they are
nowhere to be found. I ran fetchmail with the verbal option, there was one
error message:
<skip>
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1049 octets
reading message 1 of 1 (1049 bytes)
fetchmail: about to deliver with: /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
#***********fetchmail: message 1 was not the expected length (1066 != 1049)
flushed
fetchmail: POP3> DELE 1
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Message deleted
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Goodbye
fetchmail: normal termination, status 0
looks like this happens when fetchmail passes the file to qmail. The same
three messages are again logged in /var/log/messages.
Anybody an idea where I can look further?
Thanks for tips!
Armand
