Hello,
I have this problem with fetchmail.
When I'm trying to fetch mails from a POP account, fetchmail
complains about 1 mail that has a terminating string (I don't relly
recall the exact words of fetchmail) on the header and it aborts the
download. It doesn't erase downloaded messages nor the failed one...
what happens is that I get all mail stuck in the POP account and
fetchmail doesn't download anymore. To track down the failed email and
erase it by hand is what i've been doing, but it's a no go solution as
it is my mothers account and I would prefer an automated way.
I read the man trying to look for a switch or command to force
fetchmail to continue to download even if it finds a bad message and
erase all messages after that, so the "bad" email will get eliminated. I
could find nothing!
Some help will be appreciated....

If there is anything more I can add, please tell me where to find it :)
