Hi fetchmail-friends.
I am a fetchmail newbie.
It is mostly working fine. MTA is postfix with amavis (spamassasin).
I use Version 6.2.3+POP2+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+OPIE+NLS
on Linux suse-pound 2.4.21-297-default
I found some informations in the web regarding my problem. But there was only
one solution and that didn't work. I tried many different options.
Sometimes fetchmails fetches mails with a incorrect header / message delimiter.
Mostly spam mails with an attachment. But fetchmail tries to fetch the mail
every poll cycle and so very cycle i will get the same mail in my inbox (only
Headers and subject - without the attachment)
This error accours until i delete the mail manualy on the POP3 server using
telnet.
Can somebody help me?
Best regards
Dirk
