Can I turn this off?

Good question - you've told us *NOTHING* about your setup beyond the
fact that you're running some version of fetchmail on some version of
a unix like OS.  Sadly my crystal ball is in for repairs...

So, how about some details:

1) Version of fetchmail
2) Contents of .fetchmailrc
3) How are you running fetchmail - cron, daemon mode or some other way
4) Are these emails the email fetchmail is fetching, or something else
