Actually, it does - I've seen a number of messages that have been
received, where fetchmail complains about the POP/IMAP server getting
the size wrong.  It's only a warning/information message.


In my case it isn't!
The message "retained" (see below) means that the message is left on the server and no distribution is attempted.

Also notice the parsing of the "Received:" lines is requiring them to be from a known mailserver or alias in every case, which is senseless, for the reasons I gave before. Many ISPs pass incoming messages via a special antivirus server between distribution and POP3 serving, so the " for " will not be from any "alias" of the mailserver, quite correctly. In this case, there was a valid local address in the "To:" line, so why was it parsing "Received:" anyway?

I now have put "checkalias" in .fetchmailrc and it still ignores valid " for " addresses in bcc'ed messages for that reason.
