Quoting from Robin Lynn Frank's mail on Wed, Dec 18, 2002 at 09:04:27AM -0700:
SMTP returns of 550 create a situation where fetchmail will not flush the
remote server, though fetchall and flush are explicitly in the fetchmailrc.
This occurs *regardless* of whether 550 is included in antispam options.
fetchmail: reading message

Could you send the output of 'fetchmail -v -v'?
