[fetchmail] Oversized message warnings

2003-03-27 18:16:19
Greetings,

A question from a very happy fetchmail user using it to download and distribute mail from two POP mailboxes.

Is there a way for fetchmail to state WHICH POP mailbox/configuration contains an oversized message. At the moment I get the rather generic message:

"The following oversized messages remain on the mail server pop.isp.com:
         1 msg xxxxxxxxx octets long skipped by fetchmail."

My [censored] .fetchmailrc is appended below - thanks in advance for any assistance!

% cat /etc/mail/.fetchmailrc
##
# fetchmail(1) run control file
##
# NB:   This file contains the POP mailbox passw0rd,
#       so set permissions accordingly (fetchmail requires this anyway)
#
# See:  Fetchmail home page, http://catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/
##
# global fethcmail settings
##
set syslog
set daemon 60
set no bouncemail
#
##
# default server settings
##
defaults                                \
       timeout 1200                    \
       proto POP3                      \
       auth password                   \
       password XXXXXXXX               \
       limit 8388608
#
##
# MAILBOX1 mailbox
##
poll pop.isp.com                        \
       aka isp.com                     \
       user MAILBOX1 to                \
               MAILBOX1=LOCALUSER1     \
               ALIAS1=LOCALUSER2       \
#               other multidrop maoppings here
#
##
# MAILBOX2 mailbox
# (for mail to mycompany.com virtual domain, pass addresses through
# unchanged to SMTP listener and let it map them to local mailboxes)
##
poll pop.isp.com                        \
       aka isp.com                     \

       user MAILBOX2 to                \
               MAILBOX2=LOCALUSER2     \

# end .fetchmailrc
