What version of fetchmail do you use? A better place to post the message=20
would be the fetchmail list.

However, I'd suggest that you upgrade to the newer version of fetchmail. The =

reason being the guys on the fetchmail list will tell you to do so before=20
they look into it. See note below for latest announcement on fetchmail=20
release and website info.

There's a truism that the road to Hell is often paved with good intentions.
The corollary is that evil is best known not by its motives but by its
*methods*.
