Somewhat in contrast with
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html#D3
"Fetchmail only sends a delete mail request to the server when either (a) it
gets a positive delivery
acknowledgment from the SMTP listener, or (b) it gets an error 571 (the
spam-filter error) from the listener. No
interrupt can cause it to lose mail"
If your so proud of your FMs, then at least make sure they
don't mislead users.
Good point, I'll amend the FAQ accordingly.
