exit 0 and not write anything to stderr possible?

    Hello to all,
    
    For a long time that I use mutt/fetchnail/procmail without any 
    problems. Today I decide to give a try to getmail. I've configure it to 
    pipe to procmail and it gives the error:
    
    ===

      POP3 user response:  +OK

    I've checked getmail FAQ and it says:

    Q. I've configured getmail to deliver to a command (external MDA), but it 
    complains that the command exited 0 but wrote to stderr. Why?
    
    A. Command deliveries must exit 0 and not write anything to stderr to be 
    considered a successful delivery. If you know your MDA can write to 
    stderr on success, give your command a --quiet option (if it supports 
    it) or discard or redirect stderr in the command specification of the 
    delivery target.

    Can anyone help me?
    
    Thanks very much,
