I am still having trouble with some junk mail messages 'sticking' on
the POP3 server and preventing fetchmail from working.
I have (as suggested) added an 'antispam' option but it still doesn't
work. The relevant line in my .fetchmailrc line is (less password):-
poll pop3.demon.co.uk protocol pop3
username "chris(_at_)isbd" password "x" is chris" here options antispam
501
I have also tried "--antispam 501" on the fetchmail command line with
exactly the same [non-]result.
A "fetchmail -v" produces the following for the offending mail:-

There is a 501 message coming from sendmail but fetchmail isn't then
