when fetchmal runs all logs about "no emails on server", and all
"Server CommonName mismatch: localhost.localdomain !=
mail.myserver.net" are not sent to the user which is great.
But when the internet dies, or not available the user is still swamped
emails containing:
"fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at <uid>"
Can these be stopped also?
A few options:
* Try a longer interval - frankly 1 minute is overkill.
* Use daemon mode - it's there for a reason!
* Append ">/dev/null 2>/dev/null" (or ">/dev/null 2>&1") to direct all
output to /dev/null
