Hello friends,
I've been using fetchmail in a very basic way for many years. I've
come across a problem, though, that I can't seem to solve. I have a
user on my box who has an e-mail on a remote site queue, that's
40087149 octets (Yeah, that's right, 40,087,149 octets). I don't
know how this e-mail even managed to pass through the remote sender's
local server, or even get to the remote site queue without being
bounced!
My problem is, fetchmail SIGPIPE's on the e-mail. Attached is the
user's .fetchmailrc and the log from the command 'fetchmail -v -l 0'.
As I look into this problem more, I'm starting to wonder wether or
not it's a problem with fetchmail at all. However, exim reports no
errors!
I've also noticed that the problem happens after the second e-mail in
the inbox is gotten. What makes this weird is that the first e-mail
is never received, which makes me think that this big e-mail is the
culprit.
It's very strange.
If anyone can help me out, I'd sure appreciate it.
