3. crontab entry running every minute.

I'd have bet on that...

Multiple options:

1. MAILTO="" before the fetchmail line in your crontab
this will suppress all output, so in case of errors you will not be notified

So it's better run fetchmail with --silent (and probably --syslog), so
only errors will be mailed. And put something like "fetchmail:
your_admin_user" into your /etc/aliases, so the mail does not end up in a
mailbox that's never read.
