I have several fetchmail servers at customer's sites The fetchmail software
is up-to-date (6.2.2+NLS). I'm noticing that a lot of mail is not getting
flushed off my isp's server. It looks like it's all junk mail but fetchmail
has to handle it every time it does a fetch. Here's what a piece of the log
looks like:
fetchmail: POP3< 46 2964
fetchmail: POP3< 47 8867
fetchmail: POP3< 48 1961
fetchmail: POP3< 49 4564
fetchmail: POP3< 50 8653
fetchmail: POP3< 51 6100
fetchmail: POP3< .
