Using Fetchmail 6.2.5

Are you still using fetchmail or have you switched to getmail instead,
given your post on that list an hour later?

postfix will also give a message after the fetchmail socket error of:

"postfix/smtpd[3695]: lost connection after DATA from
localhost[127.0.0.1]"

This information isn't complete...

I noticed it hung on the same spam message two different times, so maybe it
is a problem with the type or formating of the email.

...but such things can happen, when, for instance, the POP3 server fails
to send a proper message end marker. There may be other problems, but to
debug this, we need a copy of the mail or session captured with
"tcpdump -w debug.dump host pop3.example.org".

You MUST change your password before uploading the file to some FTP or
web server. Please post only the URL, not the whole file.

My Linux box is behind a firewall, are there any ports I should open or
forward to the Linux box to diagnose the problem?

As long as it doesn't firewall 127.0.0.1, it should be fine.
