I use procmail to get filter my mail after fetchmail gets it. I've
noticed I have to restart fetchmail fairly frequently, after going into
my mail server and manually deleting a message that cause fetchmail to
implode. Does anyone here know what's happening ort can anyone point
me somewhere?
Here are the headers from a recent message that bombed fetchmail:
top 1
+OK Message follows

The large Bcc: header seems to be fetchmails fatal flaw... Simply
restarting fetchmail does no good since it will choke on the same
message every time until it is manually deleted.
fetchmail doesn't write anything to the log at this point. Logging
just stops.
