Couldn't figure out what was relevant, but the single message idea's
good. I've found that if I specify no dns lookup, everything downloads
fine. Friends may still want to track down the problem, however. Seems
to me that just because the DNS doesn't work doesn't mean the message
sizes should get mangled. The first error is likely to be a common one
because qmail is common. Is this why the no dns option exists?

I've attached a shortened version of the logged problem in case anyone
wants to follow up on this.
