When using fetchmail, how do I delete oversized messages from the server without actually fetching them? The man page of fetchmail doesn't help. I want fetchmail to issue "dele #n" command to the server for each oversized message.
If fetchmail is unable to do it, is there any other way?
I don't think fetchmail can do this but take a look at mailfilter. You can set it to automatially delete messages *on the server* based on a variety of criteria. Look for it on sourceforge.
