A trawl of the list archive would give you the answer to both. Socket
errors usually indicate a connection problem. If you'd provided the
output of "fetchmail -v -v" I might be able to tell you more.

If it is true, what would happen if the end of the message came before
the period ever appeared?
Fetchmail would log an error.
This also probably means that my provider isn't doing a good job of
filtering out non compliant mail.
Rob, I'm going to take you up on your offer. Spamstop is there just to
report the error that might be returned from sendmail. It appears that
sendmail is not returning any error during the process. Interestingly,
it takes exactly two minutes for the socket error to occur after it
starts retrieving the offending message. If that helps any.
I appreciate the time you are spending on this...this problem has been
bothering me for some time.
Although the probability that it is actually a fetchmail issue is very
low, I'm having a heck of a time getting to the real problem.
Thanks.
Here is the relevent fetchmailrc from fetchmail 6.2.5:
set logfile fetchmail.log
set no spambounce

proto pop3;
user barjunk there password "*****" is barsalou here;
antispam 451 flush

Here is the fetchmail -v -v section that is relevant:
